Buglist: a new 'DEFER' keyword?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Remember, the buglist is at:
http://www.netcore.fi/pekkas/buglist.html

Also, I propose adding a new keyword 'DEFER', which could be used for packages for the report is basically a minor security issue, bugfix or the like. Something which might (or might not) be addressed the next time we have other reasons to create that particular package, but it doesn't make sense to roll an update just to fix that and can't be closed outright as WONTFIX.

The reason for this is that such bugs can be sorted in a different category in the buglist, and it might be easier to spot more important work items.

This category could include bugs such as:

....

Thoughts?
