[opensuse-project] Clossing of old bugs
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have had several bugs closed withing minutes, with a copy pasted excuse, because they are reported against 11.4 and 12.2 is coming. This is demeaning!

Carlos, This was me closing them... no problem to state it. Yes, I did close > 200 bugs that were reported against 11.2, 11.3 and very few 11.4 (less critical ones) after verifying they are fixed in 12.2. Do you in all honesty expect a maintenance update for fixing a bug in 11.2? No? Good.. the we agree on that. The text also clearly stated: If you still see this happen on 12.2 (or even 12.1) please report it back, and hopefully resources allow to tackle it this time. Would you have preferred the alternative of not touching the bugs as all and keep them open? If so, please tell me and I'll do that... It will not make a difference AT ALL, promise. Still, I repeat it again: IF the problem is still there in a maintained version, feel free to open a bug. If the problem is 'minor' in 11.4 and fixed in 12.1, then there is predictably few chance to release a maintenance update.. unless somebody steps up and actually DOES do the work for this.

Not only you.

I have bugs for 11.4 in which I have invested many hours without a single comment from the team. Not even "do not bother, we are not going to read your work".

11.4 is a maintained version. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Then it was a timing co-incidence :)

Indeed, your work is surely appreciated, by all bug-hunters. I can't speak for others, but at least the bugs I closed, I can assure you, I read them (so I did not go for 'mass close' option), and tried to assess if the problem is actually still there or not (a bunch of bugs I moved even to 12.2, as they are still there). I can only re-advise: depending on severity, verify if the bug at least is fixed in 12.1 or 12.2. If it is, and the bug is of a not-so-critical nature or might have a documented work around, then I'm not sure how realistic a maintenance update is... in some cases it might be simple, or not. No general statement possible
Still, I repeat it again: IF the problem is still there in a maintained version, feel free to open a bug. If the problem is 'minor' in 11.4 and fixed in 12.1, then there is predictably few chance to release a maintenance update.. unless somebody steps up and actually DOES do the work for this.
11.4 is a maintained version.
Indeed, it is (for about 4 more months). That's why I say: 'uncritical' things might not be backported... this is nothing new, and had been always the case IIRC.
