Nobody argued that gvfs-ftp should have extra bugs, it's just not a strong client for ftp now and it's not worth investing too much efforts fixing side issues in jaunty when it will not be really useful anyway, if you need a ftp client better to use gftp or lftp which handle passive mode, file permissions on the server etc > This bug is NOT fixed in Jaunty as per the original bug report. > Please mark it as WONT FIX as marking it as fixed is dishonest. the way opensource projects are working is that bugs are closed when the fix is available in the current version (karmic for ubuntu), you can request a jaunty nomination if you think a backport is required though > Oh by the way you noticed I opened a new bug as per your instructions in comment 12, "don't reopen a closed bug because you have a similar issue but open a new one". Sorry if this was inappropriate to follow your instruction. you reopened the bug which suggested that your issue was not fixed in karmic where this one is, your bug change was confusing since you should have requested a jaunty nomination if what you wanted is to get the change in jaunty > It pretty funny that the counting the time you have wasted on this bug you could have had a properly fixed package in testing repos :). Commenting there took a few minutes, getting the change in stable would mean building the change, figuring how to set up a buggy server somewhere, having the change reviewed by the sru team and tested by the busquad to make sure it doesn't break anything, for that they would have to set up and test nautilus on a variety or ftp servers which is not a trivial work. The efforts are just not worth the gain for a stable update, we don't have the manpower to fix the thousand of bugs fixed in karmic to jaunty too anyway and spending all those ressources to backport changes would mean they would not be invested to fix other issues for karmic. Not having nautilus working on a specific ftp server for you might be annoying but it's easy enough to use gftp for example and wait for karmic that bug is neither a stopper for most users, nor a security issue nor something you can't workaround easily -- Copying from FTP freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366073 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
