Hi,
I have noticed that one of my packages, yorick-ml4, is completely broken
on amd64 and presumably all other 64-bit archs. Because the package is
unusable on all amd64 machines (and more), I believe this is a release
critical bug (which I know how to fix). However, when using reportbug,
this bug does not seem to fit in any of the criteria for reporting a
grave bug:
You are reporting a grave bug; which of the following criteria does it
meet?
1 renders package unusable renders the package unusable, or mostly so,
on
all or nearly all possible systems on which
it
could be installed (i.e., not a
hardware-specific
bug); or renders package uninstallable or
unremovable without special effort
A Bug that affects an entire architecure is grave under this category.
A Bug that does not affect an *entire* archatecture, but does affect an
overwelming majority of the machines of that architecure (such a a bug
specific to CPU's of a manufacture that makes over 90% of that architecure's
CPUs) would also be grave under this category.
A bug that affects only AMD i386 architecures would be a Serious bug, not a
grave bug, as the package would still be usable for about half the machines.
(Unless it has other reasons to be promoted to a higher severity)
A bug that affects only machines with an uncommon peice of hardware would be
a normal bug, unless it had other reasons to be promoted to a higher
serverity.
That is the spirit of the policy, even though reportbug's wording does not
quite reflect it.
