[gentoo-dev] Closing bugs on masked packages
Hey all, just a friendly request: If you do happen to mask a package for removal, please do not close any bugs against the package on the basis that it's being removed. There have been several cases where bugs get closed WONTFIX or INVALID, the removal is reversed for whatever reason, and the bugs fall through the cracks. Once the package is actually deleted, the person removing it should go through bugzie and close any open bugs. Thanks. -- dirtyepic salesman said this vacuum's guaranteed gentoo org it could suck an ancient virus from the sea 9B81 6C9F E791 83BB 3AB3 5B2D E625 A073 8379 37E8 (0x837937E8) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Thanks, Donnie Well ideally they would be discussed on gentoo-dev before addition and that was done in the case of STABLEREQ KEYWORDREQ for example.

Once the package is actually deleted, the person removing it should go through bugzie and close any open bugs. I've been operating on the premise that I am the maintainer of the package in question and marking it as WONTFIX and making it depend on the removal bug while at it. I don't see what's wrong in that.. If the removal gets reverted, all the depending bugs should be seen and acted upon. Why should we keep bugs open in our maintainer bugs list if we are 99% sure the package will get removed? We aren't treecleaners project, but the maintainers of the packages whose bug we are marking WONTFIX with the almost certain assumption the package will get removed soon... -- With Regards, Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Weblog: http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/leio signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
