No, the BTS does not support this. To be able to really track bugs you have to know more about it: - for which architectures the bug shows itself (most bugs will be for all architectures). We could probably also use a source-architecture to indicate a problem in the source (like not removing debian/files). - which versions of the package have the bug (versionranges such as dpkg uses might be appropriate). I already check if the package is in the frozen distribution for one of the architectures being released. For the interested, the code to scan the BTS spool is available in ~wakkerma/bugscan-4 on master. I think it is quite easy to add pseudoheaders to the BTS. We would also need to extend the version pseudoheader and add a command to change it later. Also we will have to make sure that people actually supply this information, and we will probably need a group of people to check this. > This may or may not be possible to track bugs in unstable AND bugs in > frozen anytime soon.

Once that is done it will probably be almost trivial to add it to my bugscan scripts. > Monitoring the critical bugs throughout the development cycle Starting with slink I have fully automated the scripts that scan the BTS data, so it is very easy to do this now (to the limited extend that a release-critical bugreport helps). And as a bonus you get a nice graph that shows how we are doing :) Wichert. -- ============================================================================== This combination of bytes forms a message written to you by Wichert Akkerman.
