Historically, the BTS archived a bug 28 days after it was closed and the only way to unarchive it was to persuade [EMAIL PROTECTED] to do so. It's now possible to unarchive a bug using the new "unarchive" command. One can also re-archive such a bug using "archive" which will immediately return the bug's state to "archived", assuming it still meets the criteria usually applied for archiving (with the exception that any time-based criteria are ignored). One cannot, however, use "archive" to archive a bug that has not previously been archived. The first archiving of a bug will occur when it meets the BTS' criteria for doing so, and cannot be forced to occur at an earlier time. The wording of Nicolas's change does not differentiate between the case of a bug that has been unarchived using "unarchive" and a bug that has never been archived before. I assume that's what Don is objecting to - "archive" can only be used to /re/-archive a previously archived bug. Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
