# Hi, # # I wasn't expecting this, but the Debian BTS actually provides # mechanism for adding custom tags. I will use #21918 as an example. # # Limit the command to the guix package only package guix # # Set an address, it can be the mailing list address for a team user alexvong1...@gmail.com # # Set usertag, the character set [A-Za-z0-9_-] should be safe usertag 21918 + determinism # # Add usercategory unreproducible-build and friends usercategory unreproducible-build * Non-derterministic-build [tag=] + Determinism [determinism] + Uncategorized [] usercategory normal * status * unreproducible-build * severity usercategory <pkg>-sort * status * unreproducible-build * severity usercategory old * status * severity * classification # # End of commands thanks
Now, if you visit <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?package=guix;users=alexvong1...@gmail.com>, you should see `Outstanding bugs -- Determinism; Normal bugs (1 bug)`. Of course, this is a rough example, the exact wordings can be changed. Does this work for you?
