Package: bugs.debian.org Severity: wishlist I'm tempted to give this severity important, simply because bug overviews for loads of packages and bug reporters are being unnecessarily polluted by bug reports that should long have been archived (and thus also still function as spam traps).
The *only* reason that they are not archived is that madison reports some ancient version of the package as "current" for hurd-i386/unstable. hurd-i386 is not in the official unstable archive and thus will there never be any status change in these bugs. FTP masters apparently don't see it as a priority to clean up madison;s databases, so my request is to ignore hurd-i386 for the BTS. I'm sure you'd make a lot of DDs very happy with this presumably relatively simple change. TIA, FJP Example 1: aptitude | 0.4.11.11-1~lenny1 | stable | source, alpha, etc. aptitude | 0.4.10-1 | unstable | hurd-i386 Unarchived bugs: 80-100 Examples: #404761, #449019 (both fixed in 0.4.11.3, 2 years ago) Example 2: rootskel | 1.31 | unstable | hurd-i386 rootskel | 1.73 | stable | source, etc. rootskel | 1.81 | unstable | source, etc. Example: #257285, fixed in 1.38, which was uploaded 24 Sep 2006! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
