If there's not currently one against debbugs


At least six, if http://bugs.debian.org/378108> is to be
believed.

I'll refrain from adding yet another :-)


Most of the bugs listed there actually are requesting the reverse of what 
you wanted, but at least

bug http://bugs.debian.org/424431>
(part of the forcemerged blob) requests both.

If there's not currently one against debbugs, filing one would be
useful. [I should get to it even if you don't, but it's always nice to
have a record.]

CNN/Reuters: News reports have filtered out early this morning that US
forces have swooped on an Iraqi Primary School and detained 6th Grade 
teacher Mohammed Al-Hazar. Sources indicate that, when arrested,
Al-Hazar was in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square and
a calculator. US President George W Bush argued that this was clear
and overwhelming evidence that Iraq indeed possessed weapons of math 
instruction.

AFAIK not, but Dondelcarlo said on -devel the last few days that implementing 
this is on his not-so-distant todo-list.

Thanks. Would you like me to submit a bug report for this wishlist
bug?

Block by (and a few other control mechanisms) aren't support at
submit@ time; it's a valid wishlist bug, and one that I'm going to be
resolving soon.

Submit a bug report known to be blocked by another bug

2008-05-19 Thread Ben Finney
Howdy all,

When submitting a bug to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, the instructions at
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting> show some of the control
that can be operated by fields in the pseudo-header of the bug report
message.

One aspect of the bug I can't see represented there is the 'blocked
by' property. I would like to be able to submit a bug with the
information that it is blocked by another; often I know this at the
time I'm submitting the bug report, so it would be good to put that in
the pseudo-header at submit time.

As it stands, all it seems I can do is to wait for the BTS to report
my bug number, and only then can I hunt down the information on what
bugs this new bug is blocked by, and 'bts block $NEWBUG by $OLDBUG_A
$OLDBUG_B'.

Is there a way to do this when submitting the bug report?
