Hi, folks. Just wanted to throw out a random note on something that often irks me. Next time you're thinking about cloning a bug: think twice. I've found that it's rarely the case that cloning a bug is really the right thing to do. When you clone a bug: * The new bug gets the exact same summary and clones a lot of the other metadata, including Blocks, Keywords and Whiteboard * The new bug gets a 'description' which includes the original description plus every single comment from the 'parent' bug * The new bug has everyone from the 'parent' bug's CC list on its CC list This is rarely really what you want, and often can be completely incorrect and annoying for the people in the CC list. Unless the above accurately describes the attributes you want your new bug to have, you're probably better off just filing a new one with a link to the old one than using the 'clone' function. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
