Hi,

Because bugs can be mentioned in the changelog saying for example "Needed for NEMO#N" or "Part of the fix for NEMO#N". We probably should add a bit more details to the changlog that would allow way to distinguish the fixes from other bug related comments. I'm proposing that when change fixes a bug we would use the following syntax in changelog:

* Wed Dec 14 2011 Marko Saukko <x...@gmail.com> - 0.1
- Fixes NEMO#<NUMBER>: This is an example comment, and it
  fixes a segfault that is happenning when opening application X.

So the comment entry should start with "Fixes NEMO#<NUMBER>:" and would be followed by a comment explaining shortly what was fixed.

Before sending an SR to the OBS project with the entry like above, one should first mark the bug as "Resolved - FIXED", or otherwise the SR would be rejected by BOSS. After the SR like this is accepted to a Nemo OBS project BOSS would automatically change the bug from "Resolved - FIXED" to "Released". Ideas, comments and suggestions are welcome.

Ps. Lets not start debate on when bug is "Released" and when it is "Resolved - FIXED" as this is not the point of this mail. Thanks.

Regards,
Marko
