Not necessarily. It should be judged on a case by case by submitters. And even if there is a new version, the review should be continued in the same ticket. The history of a submission may be interesting on its own, closing tickets and reopening new unnecessarily makes things hard to follow. Moreover removing tickets from the queue while they are not reviewed is wrong and gives a false view on the number and the packages waiting for a review. Stalled reviews (for good or bad reasons) should be in the needinfo state (although it is possible that the meaning of needinfo has changed with the new review process). Last reason to keep them is that sometimes the upstream is informed about the submission and closing without reason means having to recontact them when a new review is done (it is the case for 2 old reviews of me, one not so old, the other very old). -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
