That's why I stopped reporting bugs against Fedora years ago, they kept being automatically closed a couple of releases later. I would report a bug in RHEL and have it not deemed suitable for an update to the current release (which was fair), I would report it against Fedora and then it would be closed automatically. The Red Hat bug tracking system is less efficient for me than the Debian one. The ratio of bug reports that they receive to the number of bugs that they can fix is obviously worse than that of Debian. So the end result is that people like me are deterred from filing bug reports and people with less ability to correctly diagnose problems find it easier. It seems to me that the Debian bug tracking system is better than that of Red Hat. I don't recall anything about the Ubuntu bug tracker so I can't comment on that. In recent times I haven't bothered trying to report bugs against other distributions. When I find a bug in some other distribution I develop a work- around for it there and then try to reproduce it in Debian. If I can reproduce it in Debian then I file a Debian bug report. -- russ...@coker.com.au http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Main Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
