Re: fixing in oldstable before unstable (was Re: Wheezy update of tre?)



Hi

Do we really want LTS mailinglist filled with a lot of unstable bug updates?

I think we should file a bug with unstable version number, but write that the origin is that it was found in wheezy. Is that the same as "found" follow up?
The other alternative is that we file the bug with wheezy version number and then close that one in wheezy-security upload.

If we file the bug with wheezy version number and not closing it in wheezy upload, then it will look like the issue is still there in bts.

I'd just use bin/report-vuln ?

I'd say unstable and then "found".
