What, then, should be the tag applied for > “not a bug” or otherwise invalid reports? In Debian, the standard practice is to just close them. Some maintainers tag them with wontfix before closing them, but the tags on closed bugs are mostly ignored so it's not clear that this makes much difference. I prefer not to tag such bugs wontfix when closing them because if they're re-opened, usually it's for reasons that would also remove the wontfix tag, so it just requires more effort on both sides. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
