I don't think that the bug closures were meant to imply that you requested a new upstream version, just that the bug has now been fixed in the upstream release. Personally, I will list multiple bugs in the new upstream release line in my changelog, if they are actually fixed. -Roberto -- Roberto C.

Personally, I will list multiple bugs in the new upstream release line in my changelog, if they are actually fixed. I don't want to repeat what has been said over and over each time such issues has been raised, but basically, i'd expect the changelog to at least say what kind of bug is fixed or even better what has been done so that the bug was fixed, instead of just closing in this way. The Closes: facility in changelogs is not a bare replacement for the bts close command line. Cheers, Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Why didn't you keep debian-devel as Cc ? Le jeudi 17 novembre 2005 à 09:31 -0800, Ryan Murray a écrit : The debian/changelog file documents the changes _I_ made. And the change I made was new upstream release. The list of bugs that fixes is listed. If you want to see details of changes upstream made, the upstream changelog contains these details. If you have reason to believe that upstream has not fixed these bugs, that is what the reopen command is for. Please stop using the command for other reasons. Oh, and where in the upstream changelog can we find the references to the closed Debian bugs? Is it really too much for you to add that in the changelog: * New upstream release (closes: #313200) + Now treats all mouse buttons equally (closes: #258934). + IncludeOnly patch is integrated (closes: #327464). + Binaries moved to /usr/sbin (closes: #261979). + gdmflexiserver provides an option to start a new X server anyway (closes: #309224). + ... When you need 5 months to package a new version, I'd guess you could take 5 minutes to write a decent changelog entry. If you don't even have that time, may I recall that you have received numerous help proposals for this package during the last two years and that you ignored all of them? Regards, -- .''`.

And I surely hope you figure out it's a bad thing and stop doing that. I suggest you take a look at the gnome-applets 2.12.1-1 changelog[0]. Don't you think it's far more useful and makes people waste less time when looking at it or looking for changes at a later date? I also suggest you look for discussions about this on the debian-devel archives... It's already been exhaustingly discussed several times before.
