tagging bugs "woody"?
Hi,
users working with Debian woody often do not look at archived bugs when
reporting bugs on a package. Therefore it is likely that bugs that have
long been fixed in unstable, but will never be in woody will be reported
multiple times again.
Therefore on debian-tetex-maint@lists.debian.org it was suggested to
keep such bugs open. The "fixed" tag is appropriate for this, I
assume. However, for people using unstable it would be nice to point out
that the bug doesn't apply to them (and if they find similar behavior,
it's a new bug).
But is tagging it "woody" conformant with Debian practice? In
http://www.de.debian.org/Bugs/Developer
it says regarding the tags with distribution names:
,----
| The latter five tags are intended to be used mainly for release
| critical bugs, for which it's important to know which distributions
| are affected to make sure fixes (or removals) happen in the right
| place.
`----
Would it still be in order to use the tag woody, now that woody has long
been released?
TIA, Frank
