I am talking about recent bugs for a given package. Somehow I missed that point in the description. "Recent" could be an option or a simple heuristic, like "archived less than one mont ago". Another possible meaning for "recent" would be "In the last X releases of the package", although the relevance of the release count varies heavily from one package to another. > For a give pkg, you already have the list of resolved bugs not > archived (that happened after 30 days of inactivity). The bug I gave as an example was archived and reopened, through a new bug report, just 3 days after its archival. But maybe that was an extreme case, because 30 days should be more than enough to consider a bug closed. The way I see it, the user would initially have the list of open and unarchived bugs and, if the bug is not in there, press a "Show recently archived" button, which would trigger another query to BTS (select bugs of package archived in the last 30 days). Another possibility would be adding 2 radio buttons to the package selection screen, giving a (cumulative) choice on which bugs to retrieve: "Open and unarchived bugs", "Open, unarchived and recently archived". > > If you think about the whole BTS, consider that reportbug (and his > companion querybts) are very package-centric, and I don't know who > feasable is to extend for this quite peculiar request. > > Regards, > -- > Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu) > My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ > Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi Cheers, Elideb _________________________________________________________________ Los cochazos de los famosos Patrick Dempsey, Tom Cruise o Michael Douglas presumen de automóvil http://motor.es.msn.com/coches/galeria.aspx?cp-documentid=152634169
