No, the point is different: I do not want to know the way a bug is closed: i suppose that it was fixed and a changelog entry was filled. If it is not, I always have the email address of the DD who closed the bug, and that is enough to ask for a reason, or reopen the bug asking for a proper changelog entry or on the bts. > No, it would not.

But as i stated in another email, any user can get the package source an check the changelog. I only do not suppose any one is interested in the way a bug is closed. For examples, when i file a bug, the only thing i would like to see is the bug closed: I'm not interested in the way it was closed (in most cases). -- Luca - De Whiskey's - De Vitis aliases: Luca ^De [A-Z][A-Za-z\-]*[iy]'\?s$
