that's your work to do. bts-link only follows remote bugs status change. I've no way to know the bug has been reopened because it's a problem of another branch. If that's the case, the "right" way to do it is either to reassign the bug, or to clone/close it. I use the fact that the debian bug is about gcc-4.1 because it's *ASSIGNED* to gcc-4.1 in the BTS. if that is not accurate, then fix it. I will soon write a web page on http://bts-link.alioth.debian.org/ to explain what bts-link does and does not. it *do not* triages bugs for you, it only *synchronize* remote bugs status into the BTS. assigning bugs to the right package, ensuring that the bug is *really* fixed like upstream claims it is, ... remains of the responsability of the maintainer. No automated tool can be trusted for such tasks. and again, the bts-link usertags are used as a database of the current remote states. --- so a correct summary is that: bts-link sent a status change for a gcc bug that apply to gcc-snapshot to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead, because the debian bug linked to the previous is assigned to gcc-4.1. If that's correct, then well, sorry, bts-link sadly cannot replace maintainers. I suppose that what you want is: $> bts assign 356569 gcc-snapshot -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O [EMAIL PROTECTED] OOO http://www.madism.org
