Normally this happens automatically when a package with (Closes: #123456) in the Debian changelog file reaches the archive. Bart Martens has corrected this premature closing by reopening the bug. > I opened another RFS bug 924708: > https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=924708 > > I think I slightly mucked up the RFP as I used the reportbug and > pasted in a description into the wrong field - but it seems to be ok. Bart Martens corrected the title of the RFS bug report to be more like the RFS template. In addition the newcomer tag is not meant to be used in the way that you used it because the idea of the tag is to indicate bugs that aren't being worked on right now but that a new contributor could work on, Andrey Rahmatullin corrected that by removing the tag. https://mentors.debian.net/sponsors/rfs-howto https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#tags Somehow your RFS bug report didn't reach the debian-mentors mailing list. I have resent the mail to the list but the mail still didn't reach the list so I think there must be some sort of filtering. I have asked the #debian-lists channel what happened there. > I didn't realise that I had to open *another* RFS bug or to close the > original ITP bug when uploading the package. The RFS (Request for Sponsor) bug helps indicate to potential sponsors that you need a sponsor, while the ITP (Intent to Package) bug is opened *before* you start creating the package and closed *after* it gets included into Debian. > I believe I have fixed all the issues that I know how to do - it > claims the watch file doesn't work - but it seems to work for me? I expect this is because the mentors site uses an old version of devcripts but your watch file uses the new git support. In addition, phpmode is not a valid option in watch files, I think you meant the pgpmode option. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
