And if libesd is dropped all packages that BR it need to be fixed; maybe postpone this until the importing rush is over, then it can be phased out after this high pressure stage is over..

e for. (IMHO, mageia-app-db should be more versatile in the way it searches bug reports, note that almost at any given point in time there'll be reports that haven't been triaged yet, and so can have an empty or a wrong content in the RPM Package field) And about it being hard to find the name of the package, it depends, do you think users reporting a bug read? if they read the little paragraph under the Source RPM field here: https://qa.mandriva.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mandriva%20Linux&format=guided you'll find that it states exactly how to find the src.rpm name :) The point is, such things come with time and experience with bug reporting, I don't expect a user to get it right the first time, but if he still doesn't get it right with his say 15th bug report, then he doesn't take enough care when filing the report and I can assure you by that time he'll have been notified more than once about what should be done (by triage team members, devs, package maintainers... etc). -- Ahmad Samir

istro there're rules and guidelines that should be followed (look at Debian for example); being a community distro doesn't mean anyone gets a free reign to do whatever he wants whenever he wants. Note that Michael is discussing the issue, he didn't make final decisions. If you have a productive argument to make please do so, otherwise please refrain from calling other peoples' posts "silly" (or "non-sense" judging from your other posts on the ML). -- Ahmad Samir
