One more thing: the bugs associated with an obsoleted package like samba_common are still in the bugtracker, but are no longer visible for the maintainer by showing the maintainer bug status as the obsoleted package is not associated with the maintainer although it was built in the batch. See again samba_common for my bug report page: http://www.opencsw.org/buglist/maintainer.cgi?maintainer='dam' and in the toplist of all bugs: http://www.opencsw.org/buglist/buglist.cgi Best regards -- Dago -- "You don't become great by trying to be great, you become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process." - xkcd #896 _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
