If this is covered in policy/packaging manual/developers reference please point me to the relevant section. Section 10 in the developer's reference doesn't really answer my question.
anyhow.. I know you're not (unless w/permission, submitter, or maintainer, etc) supposed to close bugs.. but what about things like changing subjects.. merging.. changing severity levels.. For the maintainer/developer, I guess informal policy is something to the effect of.. as long as it's 'proper' etc.. for example Josip Rodin cleans up a lot of bugs, merging.. changing subjects etc.. so clearly it is (and should be) going on.. anyway my question is how does this work for people who are not official developers, is it ok if they do things like merge bugs? I ask, because I have a bit of spare time, and going over the BTS is one thing that can be helpful, cleaning it up etc, but I'm not an offical dd'er, not yet at least - I am in NM. just looking for some sort of guidelines here. cheers, - brian. -- Brian Russo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG ID: 54D81666 404E 87E8 DD0C 275B 742B 09AD 2243 839C 54D8 1666 http://www.phys.hawaii.edu/~brusso/gpg_brian.asc magnus frater spectat te - encrypt whenever possible
