No. I didn't reset it to orphaned. I just changed the title of the bug: Old Title: "O: c-cpp-reference" New Title: "O: c-cpp-reference -- c/c++ reference set for kdevelop" As you can see, I didn't change the status of the bug. Chris Cheney indends to adopt the package, yes, but he only mailed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of properly renaming the bug to ITA.

Should I just fix as much as possible in the current package to get a newer version into woody, and do the re-packaging post-woody?

Can't speak for the RM, but if you upload tomorrow then it at least has a chance - from what I've heard the testing scripts aren't going to be told to freeze everything just yet. I think it's still quite sensible to fix as many non-RC bugs as you can if you have a reasonable expectation that the fixes won't cause RC bugs. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It seems sensible to do it properly now, then. For people looking through the WNPP in future, Chris Cheney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is the potential adopter, not me. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I have this sneaking suspicion that we need a tool more appropriate than the BTS to handle the WNPP. The BTS seems rather fragile for this purpose - the format for bug titles and to a greater extent the way followups for bug reports are handled (not going to the bug sumbitter) both seem rather fragile and aren't really handled all that well by the mechanisms normally used when interacting with the BTS. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." pgptbW3pyeQep.pgp Description: PGP signature
