No, notfixed should be the opposite of fixed, which it is. reopen (or found) is the opposite of -done. All notfixed does is removed a version from the fixed list. Its primary purpose is fixing typos and other mistakes in the fixed version list when that's *all* you want to do. If you're expecting other side effects you're either looking for found or reopen. notfound is its pair which performs precisely the same operation but on the found list. > If what you say is the case then I think we (or indeed probably I) > buggered up the semantics rather badly. I added the notfixed and notfound commands myself, so I'm responsible for them. [I'm not entirely sure why they were being used in this case, as it seems clear from the bug log that what was meant was that the bug was actually still present in 2.3.3+fr-1, in which case 'found' or 'reopen' are the appropriate things.] Don Armstrong -- If you find it impossible to believe that the universe didn't have a creator, why don't you find it impossible that your creator didn't have one either? -- Anonymous Coward http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=167556&cid=13970629 http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
