No further changes may be made." Interesting... I did not consider this possibility, because I successfully tagged older closed bugs, such as http://bugs.debian.org/64980, but they do not have this comment on the top of their page, although also being archived. So there seems to be two levels of archiving...
Hum... strange... At first I saw one difference: #64980 was closed using 64980-done@b.d.o and #136004 using 136004-close@.b.d.o But then I saw bugs closed using "close" that didn't have the "Bug is archived. No further changes may be made." header. So the way the bug was closed is not the difference. At http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Access there is: "Each closed bug report is archived 28 days after the last message relating to it is received and filed. This means that it is no longer possible to access it or change anything about it using the control and service bots. (...)" Now I am in doubt if the explanation is outdated (some new procedure of archiving the bugs was introduced) or the archiving process is not fully documented... If someone could explain this for us, please. Thank you! Best regards, Nelson
