What percentage of games pkgs have bugs ? Eg I amuse myself with games-puzzle/sgt-puzzles ; it is maintained upstream with regular updates. The only unresolved bug appears to be 602696 which relates to version 20161207, which is no longer in the tree : why is the bug still marked 'confirmed' ? Shouldn't it be 'resolved' ? What justification is there for marking this pkg 'unstable' ? My guess is that there are other games pkgs with no valid bug. Marking all games 'unstable' still seems to be overkill. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
