But actually, I would prefer giving every update an ID. Clearly you would. And you'd burn through the ID numbering scheme with no real auditting benefit. I'll repeat. If a testing package is missing in bodhi...it means its obsoleted by a newer one. Bodhi has a search interface which will let you find the newer ones. The bugzilla tickets have the reference to the newer ones. Keeping the obsoleted packages in the bodhi interface would only encourage you to add comments that are no longer relevant..no longer useful to the maintainer. Yes its unfortunate that you installed an outdated testing package. It happens...because testing revisions can be quite fast paced when maintainers are on the ball and your local mirror might not sync as fast as others so you are a step or three behind the current conversation. And in this case, even if you found the package listing you were looking for...any comment you would have added...any karma you would have added..would just be wasted effort because the relevant conversation had moved on to the newer package. And we certainly don't want you to waste even more effort adding karma or a comment on an obsoleted testing package. We want you using and commenting on the testing packages that are most current. -jef -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
