? I don't understand the logic. If a bug is raised again and again, that should raise developers' attention. Agree here I seem to be alone raising the concern. I tend to think that my colleague wouldn't be alone making the mistake, and we just do not get the grumbling signal of people realizing after installation that they got a 32bit system, and will just think "bleh, dumb Debian again" and not bother making a report. > Samuel please respect the work of Holger Wansing and leave this BR closed and > > > > If you know, that the issue you reported (and gets closed here) is > > > > still existing > > > > in recent installation images, please file a new report for that! I even less understand the logic. Yes, the bug is still existing: the installer doesn't warn about installing 32bit on 64bit. But reporting a new bug report would leave the old one unseen. And it'd then be even less informative: with the new bug report only we would not remember that nobody took the care to implement it while it was reported 4 years ago. > The win-win-win situation is > * There is a BR that i386 image checks for amd64 host and informs user about > it > * Holgers good work is respected > * BTS has only open BR that deserve attention, which keeps developers > motivated to check BTS for what needs to be done I completely support Holgers' good work, that's not the question! But point 3 contradicts what you wrote above: not having the information that the bug was already reported 4 years ago gives a wrong signal to developers: possibly we don't actually want to spend time implementing it, and just re-filing a bug report "just because yes it is still not implemented" gives a wrong priority signal.
