I've been going through the EBUILD list at random and providing lists of
things that need to be fixed before the ebuild can be considered for
inclusion. The WONTFIX resolution along with a comment asking for the
submitter to reopen with a fixed ebuild is used when problems are found.
Is it possible to leave these bugs in an open state? WONTFIX doesn't
seem the right tool for the job:
WONTFIX
The problem described is a bug which will never be fixed.
Often i believe the ebuild submitter is a different party than the one
who originally opened the bug. Also, an individual who fixes up an
ebuild to comply with the review could again be a completely different
person. Neither of these people can reopen the bug. My concern is that
you lose the ability to differentiate between bugs that have been
reviewed and don't yet have an updated ebuild and those which do when
doing a bugzilla query. My other concern is that closed bugs are not
searched by default when doing a simple query (like that on the submit
bug wizard) which makes them easy for users to overlook and leads to
duplicates.
Can I suggest REVIEW+ and REVIEW- keywords? :) When an updated ebuild
is submitted, the submitter could simply remove the REVIEW- keyword to
get the bug back in the to-be-reviewed queue.
I think this is a great idea btw. Thanks for taking it up.
