[16:32] <Laibsch> Can I manipulate the status of bugs' release pockets?
[16:32] <Laibsch> IOW, set all karmic bugs to wontfix
[16:32] <Laibsch> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+bugs
[16:33] <Laibsch> I want to do this with the e-mail API: https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/EmailInterface
[16:38] <teward> AIUI "Won't Fix" is a unique, controlled-access status...
[16:41] <Laibsch> does that answer my question in any way?
[16:41] <Laibsch> if it is relevant, I can set that status without any problem via the web interface
[16:45] <teward> Laibsch: that's the first thing I was checking, yes.  :P
[16:46] <Laibsch> then I do not understand the answer
[16:46] <Laibsch> -v, please
[16:46]  * teward never gave you a full answer
[16:49] <Laibsch> are you playing games with me?
[16:49]  * Laibsch is starting to get annoyed
[16:49] <teward> no, i'm not sure of the answer, so i'm searching too
[16:51] <teward> so patience, or wait for someone who knows the system better to answer (I asked #launchpad as well since they may know even more)
[16:54] <Laibsch> bbl
[20:25] <teward> well i haave an answer to Laibsch's initial question - thanks to cjwatson in #launchpad for it, because the documentation didn't show the functionality
[21:50] <teward> going to put out a serious question: is there any reason the bugs listed at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+bugs should be left open, or can we mark them as "Won't Fix" if we have the rights to?
[22:00] <penguin42> I don't see why they should remain open - obviously only the karmic part of bugs that have parts for multiple versions
[22:01] <teward> correct
[22:01] <penguin42> I'd be tempted to kill off the new and confirmed and see what's left
[22:01] <teward> i've already made a huge list of commands to send to edit@bugs to close them all... I'mma redo it to target new and confirmed for now...
[22:01] <teward> maybe triaged.
[22:02] <teward> new confirmed and incomplete actually
[22:04] <penguin42> yeh
[22:07] <teward> hggdh: ^  (related to the PM I sent)
[22:07] <teward> in case you want to loop in your opinion publicly :)
[22:09] <hggdh> heh
[22:10] <hggdh> they can be either invalid or wontfix, provided that a blurb is given asking to open a new bug on a supported release
[22:10] <teward> heh.  a lot of these appear to be Fix Released for the main bug task...
[22:11] <hggdh> so it would be a backport -- which will not happen. As such, safe to close wontfix.
[22:13] <teward> mhm
[22:18] <teward> i'm going to close the 6 karmic bugs against amsynth all at once as "Won't Fix", so lets see if I did this right... I'll add a form comment manually after... too bad there's no email interface for staging, then i would be able to test this a lot more thoroughly...
[22:26] <teward> well, goody, it worked.
