Re: Strange new BTS behavior
Please understand that, to me, this is a minor nit. So, I'm not trying to
beat you up ;-)
The actual closing message contains the bug report number and the subject
line. As these messages usually show up shortly after the "installed"
announcement on a new package upload I'm pretty sure that I did it. When
these message are recieved at other times I check out the bug report
number and determine if the closing was valid.
The extra copy of the original report is just that ... extra.
Luck,
