It is a bit more complicated than that: First of all, there is the RC-bug count of a package in sid. This is just the count of all RC-bugs, excluding RC-bugs which are fixed or sarge-ignore, and excluding RC-bugs with an distribution-tag (i.e. potato, woody, ...), except if the bugs is also tagged sid. The RC-bug count of a package in sarge is equalled to the status in sid during every britney run where the (source) packages have the same version. So, to answer your question: A RC-bug tagged sarge, sid adds 1 to the sid-RC bug count. However, if there is at least one britney run where the versions in sarge and sid are the same, the sarge RC count has also that 1 added. So, if the versions are the same, it has no negative impact. If they are not, it's a blocker. Cheers, Andi -- http://home.arcor.de/andreas-barth/ PGP 1024/89FB5CE5 DC F1 85 6D A6 45 9C 0F 3B BE F1 D0 C5 D1 D9 0C
