For tracking current state properly, it's better to have separate bugs for each version -- they're not generated from the same spec file, and they don't end up going to the same place, and different distro versions will be affected differently. This can feel a little bit like administrivia, but my experience with using bugzilla to track the BU Linux project has convinced me that it's really worth it and makes the whole process less error-prone. The other downside, of course, is that it's kinda convenient to "cross-pollinate" between development/QA for closely related issues. For our own bugzilla-managed BU Linux project, we simply do that by making sure each bug has a comment pointing to the bug # of the other one. Another approach would be to add a version named "meta" or "tracking", and create initial bugs like "CAN-005-468: rh9, fc1, fc2" and then create individual bugs for each release and have them all block the top-level tracking bug. This is even *more* administrative overhead, though. I don't use RHL 7.x or FC1, so I only filed the RHL 9 one; I probably should have filed the others as well. I can go ahead and do that, but I'll wait a little bit to see what comes out of this discussion. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
