That's perfect for me too. It's a bug triage signal, not a time-limited notification. Suits me fine. > It would IMO not be correct to mark a bug pending if it is fixed but not > yet been released upstream (unless you plan to upload a fixed version > based on current upstream). I think that's different if the DD is also upstream. Yes, if the DD is waiting for someone else to make the release, that could be a problem. (Especially with a large project that has slipped out of the 'release early, release often' approach that I share.) > If there are other issues with the package (e.g. needs a new version of a > library that's not yet available) that prevent an upload, that should not > prevent you from setting a pending tag. Thanks to one and all for the quick replies - I think I'd tag this thread as "pending" at this point. :-) "issue is resolved, no further work required unless something really big has been missed by the process so far" -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
