It now has 55 bugs and for last several months the only bugs that I could anything about were bugs reported recently. Everything else is either something I cannot do anything about because I'm not familiar with the package (like licensing problems or conffile/symlink/whatever else problems on upgrade), impossible to test (like problems on non-x86 arches) or already worked on (especially some months ago most interestingly looking bugs without patch and pending tags already contained lengthy discussions or messages that they will be fixed soon). This means while they say we have about 200 RC bugs there is nothing for me to help. Some more numbers: there are 178 bugs on the page provided by nthykier [2]. If we ignore "packages not in main", "fixed in deferred/delayed", "RT tag for wheezy: will-remove", "RT tag for wheezy: can-defer" and "marked as done" we get 106 bugs. Out of those there are 30 bugs tagged patch, 16 bugs tagged pending and 14 bugs tagged security. If we ignore those, we get 60 bugs. I've opened 4 random bugs: #683188 API change in python-subversion breaks trac "Testing already has SWIG 2.0.7, so rebuilding python-subversion should fix this if SWIG is run during the build." #701944 emacs23 fails to install due to /etc/emacs23 does exist for byte-compilingclone -1 ccrypt "Severity set to 'normal' from 'serious'; Added tag(s) moreinfo." (today) #701134 php-soap: directory vs. symlink conflict: /usr/share/php/doc "Added tag(s) patch." (today) #684604 eclipse-rcp: eclipse 3.8 hangs on splash screen with "Loading Workbench" after update from 3.7.2 I do not know anything about eclipse internals and there is already active discussion with the maintainer so I don't see how can I help here.
