Actually serious needs a justification from policy, grave however does not.. As a reminder grave is "makes the package in question unusable or mostly so" (among other things). You could argue that severity serious would have been better (with policy justfication 3.5: Every package must specify the dependency information about other packages that are required for the first to work correctly.). > There is a fix for this issue already applied upstream and the > next release is due this week.

I don't set severities on bugs to get fixes for the packages any quicker. I set them because they are, in my opinion, the correct severities for the respective bugs. For RC status all that counts is the package as is, not what will be in the next release so arguing that severity is incorrect due to fixes that have been done upstream which are meant to trickle down to debian makes little sense. > I'm keeping the severity as-is but > please just bear in mind that not every HTTP500 affecting lava-server is > of serious or grave severity. Sure, and as you could see from the bugreport i actually did investigate what the issue was here. > The Django1.7 changes had to be applied quickly as a hotfix release and > there are issues which are being integrated into the next full release. > > For now, installing the longerusername package fixes this problem. That's all fine, and really, i don't mind hitting these kind of issues while our boxes are running testing (Actually i'm very happy we can run from packages these days instead of random release deployments).. But still, the bug severity is orthogonal to all this :) -- Sjoerd Simons <sjo...@debian.org> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
