We only count RC-bugs that are valid in Sid or Squeeze, not tagged squeeze-ignore, and only if the packages is in Squeeze. Pseudo-Packages are ignored.

Rationale: If these bugs are dealt with, and the updated packages have gone in Squeeze, than Squeeze is releaseable from a strictly technical point of view. Of course, from a not so technical point of view, there are a few more things to be done, like release notes, but that's not the scope of this page.

Explanation for bug tags:

• P: pending
• +: patch
• H: help
• M: moreinfo
• R: unreproducible
• S: security
• U: upstream
• C: claimed
• D: upload to delayed or also assigned to ftp.d.o / qa.d.o
• <: removal hinted by one of the release managers
• N: newer than two weeks
• T: only present in testing, not in sid
• t: only present in testing, not in sid, and invalidated by britney
• B: only present in sid, not in testing (please note that if the package is removed from testing, the bug is not shown at all anymore)
• F: already marked as done/fixed somehow; might be false positive
• =: merged (means: there exists a bug with a smaller number with which the bug is merged)

The current package list of the day packages are printed in red (this will be extended some day to allow selecting a package list). Currently [2004-08-22] this list is the list of frozen packages.

• Ignore by 'hinted / delayed upload': Ignore bugs that are either hinted (a Release Team member has decided this package is to be removed from testing, and it will get removed soon) or for which there is an upload in the 'delayed' upload queue (probably a NMU) already waiting to get in the archive.
• Ignore by 'claimed / assigned to ftp/qa': Hide bugs that are either already claimed to be working on by somebody else (claims page), or that someone asked for it to be removed ('assigned to ftp/qa')
• new: Hide bugs less than N days old (see the last textbox to define what is N)
• pending: hide bugs tagged pending, meaning: the maintainer claims to have fixed the bug, but not yet uploaded the package
• patched: Hide bugs where a patch is available in the BTS
• merged: hide all second and later reports of the same bug
• contrib/non-free: hide bugs on packages that are in the contrib or non-free sections respectively
• bugs invalidated by todays britney: hide bugs that are marked as testing-only, and testing has either no version of this package anymore, or the same version as unstable
• bugs somehow other marked as fixed: if the bug is in state done, but is marked as valid for both testing and unstable. That can happen if e.g. the version the bug was fixed in was removed from the changelog, the bug was fixed only for stable, the upload is still in queue/accepted (aka incoming.debian.org), or was fixed in experimental.
• only frozen packages: ignore bugs on packages which are not marked as frozen (or which are currently thawned)
• also related bugs: show all (RC) bugs which affect the same binary/source package, even if they would be ignored otherwise - the scope of this switch depends whether you look at binary or source packages, though.

History

• 2006-10-05 lots of updates
• 2004-10-03 copes better with multipackages bugs, but delayed and multi-packages doesn't always work
• 2004-07-07 package list of the day instead of standard or above is red
• 2004-06-07 added this page
