Oh, right. Will do that.
Anyway, what about problems that are specific to the Debian package for
Darcs? I have been looking at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=darcs;dist=unstable
and noticed that
1. many issues concern long since obsolete versions
2. some do not and might be fixable upstream
Regarding (1), is there a policy for closing these issues when they
become irrelevant? Regarding (2), is there a way to get notified for new
issues or when existing one change their status?
Cheers
Ben
