Package: reportbug
Version: 6.5.1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I filed a bug against wine-development with reportbug. This shows me the
list of current bugs against wine-development. Every bug in this list
has either the status "done" or "pending". The latter is wrong or at
least confusing since it can be misunderstood as tagged "pending", which
none of those actually is. (Some of them are tagged "patch", and others
are completely untagged and have only the submitters mail).
So I don't know what the reason is to show these bugs as "pending".
Maybe they should just be shown as "open" unless they get tagged "pending".
Thanks
jre

there is a bit of misunderstanding here, mixing up tags and statuses.
when a bug is in status 'pending' it means it still misses a
resolution (it is pending a resolution), while when a bug is tagged
'pending' it means a fix has been found and it's soon to be released.
This information are returned from the BTS to reportbug, which just
shows them, so if you want clarification, i think you'd better contact
[email protected] (the owner of the BTS).
