When bugs are closed, they disappear from the reporter's bz frontpage. Its far easier to leave the bug open and close it when the fixed package gets pushed through bodi. > Until then, why do we need to have the bug open in 2 places? Yes. Many times when I am evaluating a package I look in bz to see what bugs are open against it as a test sniff of what its quality might be like. If the maintainer is closing everything as upstream bugs, I might be installing a steaming hot pile of awful and not knowing its got lots of problems. Also by closing unresolved bugs you are inviting duplicate bug reports. -Steve -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
