It only implies that for britney; the BTS itself ignores it save for archiving. It's quite likely that we should change this, but it's not the way it works currently. [1] How to interpret those tags has always been problematic in my mind, but I suppose the following interpretation would resolve what the release managers are looking for, and would also work for the bts. *** proposal *** For the purposes of determining buginess, setting a distribution tag limits the bugginess of a package in distribtions to the intersection of the distributions and the version-based bugginness of a package. This means that a bug that would normally be buggy in etch and lenny (but fixed in sid) due to the versions present of that package would only be present in lenny if tagged lenny and tagged sid. For the purposes of archival, we just use the buginess state above instead, defaulting to (testing distribution), sid. *** end proposal *** Does that meet the needs of the RMs et al? Are there any objections?
