bugs in stable ?
Hello,
I use debian stable on a couple servers,
and testing/unstable on my workstations.
works great.
The security updates are nice on both stable and unstable.
debian-security-announce is wonderful. (did i mention apt-get yet ? ;-)
However, when there is a problem on a package in stable which
is not important enough to be updated, the package stays
as-is and information about this bug is difficult to retrieve.
That the package doesn't change is fine with me, what i'd like
is a way to keep track of problems of packages in the stable distribution.
I'd like thoses bugs to be reported by apt-listbugs.
I'd like the bugs submitted with reportbug on stable to have a "stable"(maybe?) tag.
I guess a lot of them would have a "fixed in unstable" tag.
Currently I believe there is no easy way to get this information.
(correct me if i'm wrong)
The tag "woody" seems seldom used.
I tried on the package "locales".
all bugs ever (i believe ?)
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=locales&archive=yes
bugs with tag woody :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=locales&archive=yes&include=woody
I think there is missing bugs here, like this one :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=183685&archive=yes
may be i'm wrong, but you see the point.
The current stable locales package is 2.2.5-11.5,
how do i retrieve bugs/small problems with this packages ?
thanks for your help,
