[14:02] <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.
[14:10] <penguin42> got an example?
[14:11] <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
[14:13] <penguin42> hjd: Well that's unlikely to hit an SRU I'd guess - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When
[14:14] <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
[14:15] <penguin42> hjd: Anyone can request a backport (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports )
[14:25] <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
[14:27] <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
[14:30] <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?
[14:36] <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
[14:44] <hjd> penguin42: Ok. :) I marked bug 572320 Fix Released now.

[18:53] <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
[18:54] <iceroot> where does ubuntu-bug gets the names for packages?
[18:55] <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
[18:59] <iceroot> ah, as it seems ubuntu-bug can only handle installed packages
[19:00] <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?
[19:05] <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
[19:06] <iceroot> TheLordOfTime: thank you alot
[19:06] <TheLordOfTime> mhm
