| hjd | Hi, does anyone have some pointers on what to do with bug reports where the issue has been resolved in newer Ubuntu releases? I have found the stock responses, but I don't know how to tell whether a bug qualifies for SRU, backport or neither. | 14:02 |
|---|---|---|
| penguin42 | got an example? | 14:10 |
| hjd | Bug 572320 for instance (present in 10.04, fixed in 11.04) | 14:11 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 572320 in pychess "Can't select the pychess engine itself to play with" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/572320 | 14:11 |
| penguin42 | hjd: Well that's unlikely to hit an SRU I'd guess - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When | 14:13 |
| penguin42 | hjd: I'm not sure generally, but given it's a universe package, and not particular important then I can't see an SRU happening | 14:14 |
| penguin42 | hjd: Anyone can request a backport (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports ) | 14:15 |
| hjd | penguin42: Hm, I see. If I close that and leave a link to how to file a backport request in my comment to let the reporter or anyone else affected decide whether it is needed, does that sound ok? | 14:25 |
| penguin42 | hjd: Well I don't think it should be closed | 14:25 |
| penguin42 | hjd: Although it's unlikely to be fixed, Lucid is still a current release; it's probably right to say that the easiest thing if someone really wants it is to ask for a backport | 14:27 |
| hjd | Care to elaborate on why it should be left open? It works in the version available in 11.04, I thought that would make it Fix Released? | 14:30 |
| penguin42 | hjd: Yes, actually you're right - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status states 'If a bug is fixed in the current development release, it is Fix Released. If the bug also needs to be fixed in a stable release, use the "Target to release" link to nominate it for that release.' | 14:36 |
| penguin42 | so yeh, fix released | 14:36 |
| hjd | penguin42: Ok. :) I marked bug 572320 Fix Released now. | 14:44 |

| iceroot | hi | 18:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | hi | 18:53 |
| iceroot | i want to report a bug against evolution-ews (12.10) but ubuntu-bug is telling me there is no package evolution-ews | 18:53 |
| iceroot | where does ubuntu-bug gets the names for packages? | 18:54 |
| TheLordOfTime | iceroot: are you using that package in Precise | 18:55 |
| TheLordOfTime | or within Quantal? | 18:55 |
| iceroot | TheLordOfTime: 12.10 | 18:55 |
| iceroot | within | 18:55 |
| iceroot | at it has a broken dependency | 18:55 |
| iceroot | i tried to report it but ubuntu-bug is not finding the package | 18:55 |
| iceroot | ah, as it seems ubuntu-bug can only handle installed packages | 18:59 |
| iceroot | because of the fact that evolution-ews cant be installed (wrong dependencies) ubuntu-bug cant find it to report a bug against it | 19:00 |
| iceroot | what is the way to report a bug with the needed informations without using ubuntu-bug? | 19:00 |
| TheLordOfTime | going to the source package, tagging it as quantal, and explaining the issue? | 19:05 |
| TheLordOfTime | also including a paste of what you're seeing would probably help | 19:05 |
| TheLordOfTime | filing a bug against the source package* | 19:05 |
| TheLordOfTime | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-ews/+filebug | 19:05 |
| TheLordOfTime | starting there probably | 19:05 |
| iceroot | TheLordOfTime: thank you alot | 19:06 |
| TheLordOfTime | mhm | 19:06 |
