Hi there, There are a bunch of bug reports where a bug was fixed in the stable branch, and for whatever reason it wasn't obvious to BTS that the bug was fixed in the development branch as well, so it shows a picture like this:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/version.cgi?info=1;absolute=0;fixed=e2fsprogs%2F1.41.12-3;collapse=1;found=e2fsprogs%2F1.41.11-1;package=e2fsprogs Since it was marked "done", the bug report has been marked archived, so I can't just send a command: fixed 588726 e2fsprogs/1.42~WIP-2011-07-02-01 I'd instead have to do this: unarchive 588726 fixed 588726 e2fsprogs/1.42~WIP-2011-07-02-01 archive 588726 How expensive is this? Is archive/unarchive just a flag to prevent spam from getting entered into the bug report, or something more? Also, I found the following in the HowToUseBTS archive: "Because bug reports can get archived after 28 days if they fulfil some criteria: usually bugs have to get fixed both in unstable and in testing to get archived." So it's a bit annoying that I need to go in and manually mark all of these bugs as fixed in a historical release --- but given that BTS thinks that both unstable and testing still have these bugs marked as unfixed, why were they archived in the first place? - Ted -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
