Speaking of duplicates, I would like to add something I noticed in a Plasma release announcement a few weeks ago. There, it was written that over 1000 bugs were fixed. That sounded pretty much and I checked and found out that about half of them were marked as duplicate: "In the run up to the Plasma 5.5 beta an incredible over 1,000 bugs were fixed." (https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.4.95.php). Me personally, would not have counted those duplicate bugs but on the other hand the number of bugs was declared as "incredible"; so nothing to complain about. ;-) Gregor _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
