Bug#787246: tracker.debian.org: [regression] the package tracker seems to have lost the bugs box
Package: tracker.debian.org
Severity: important
Hello and thanks for developing the (new) Debian Package Tracker!
I have recently noticed a regression: the package tracker seems to
no longer display the bugs box (which used to show up on the top of the
right column). The bugs box seems to be missing from all package pages,
such as, for instance:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/apt-listbugs
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/apt
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/reportbug
...
This appears to be an important regression, since I think the bugs box
was very useful to quickly access the lists of bugs of various severities,
the bugs vs. time plots, and so forth...
BTW, when the bugs box was present, it used to be displayed only if
the package had a number of bugs greater than 0.
I believe this was a suboptimal behavior, since, that way, you hide
the links to bug lists (which can, in some cases, contain one or more
just-filed bug reports, before the tracker data gets updated) and also
the link to the bugs vs. time plot (which is useful even when the bug
count is zero: it shows how the bug count reached zero!).
Please re-enable the bugs box in the package pages, and, while you are
at it, please enable it even for packages with zero bugs.
Thanks for your time.
Bye.
