Re: Bug#737272: ITP: healpy -- Python language interface for Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization

[Leo Singer <lsinger@caltech.edu>]

Hi Steffen,

This ITP bug report is still open, even though the Healpy changelog says:

...
healpy (1.7.3-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  * Initial release (Closes: #737272).
  * source package automatically created by stdeb 0.6.0+git
  * silenced some warnings by adding a pydist-overrides file
  * add Numpy ABI dependency by running dh_numpy
  * depend on healpix-cxx >= 3.11
  * update to debhelper 9
  * depend on python-setuptools >= 0.6.14 for compatibility with Squeeze

Is that because the Closes: string is in an UNRELEASED entry? Should I close the bug manually, or is there a trick with the Changelog?

Thanks,
Leo
