Bug#376293: debbugs: Add chaining options to "block" command (when A is closed, it closed B ...)
Package: debbugs
Severity: wishlist
An example:
- Bug 123456 has been filed to package A
- In order the A to behave correct, B (say; library) needs to be updated
to latest upstream version.
So, until new B is packaged, it blocks marking bug in A (123456)
done.
SUGGESTION
Add chainign possibility to the BTS system, where the "block" command
will chain the bug to close when the one pointed by "by" is marked
done.
Current syntax:
block A by B
New syntax:
block A by B [do <action>]
Where <action> would be any valid BTS command. An example:
block A by B do close A
Or:
block A by B do tags A + pending
