The package review process is really a separate workflow that uses Bugzilla for convenience so it doesn't really involve Bugzappers / QA at all. Bugzappers are asked to leave package review requests entirely alone. I'll update the lifecycle page to specify that it applies only to 'conventional' Fedora bugs. For 1 I'd suggest NOTABUG, myself. For 2 I suppose, yeah, set it NEEDINFO, and close as CANTFIX or INSUFFICIENT_DATA if they seem to have disappeared. But that's just me guessing and carries zero weight, I don't know who should make an Official Declaration in this case. Resolutions aren't really super important, so don't get tied up over them. Don't spend more than a minute thinking "my word! What resolution should I use?!?!" - if you don't know and the page doesn't make it clear, just take a guess, no-one's going to die if you get it 'wrong'. It's just nice to have mostly consistent usage so we can sometimes derive useful statistics from the resolutions. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
