Some doubts about patching

July 28th, 2012 - 05:50 am ET by Jose Antonio | Report spam

Hi all,

I've been checking the website of "Release-critical bugs status" at
http://bugs.debian.org/release-crit.../all.html. And I have several
questions:

* I have installed Wheezy but not Sid nor Squeeze: Can I filter the bugs to
find only those corresponding to Wheezy?

* Imagine that I start to create a patch: How do I know that there is any
maintainer developping a patch for the same bug?

* If I create a bug: Do I have to sign it before sending it to the DM or DD
that maintain the package? And if so, my key is not in keyring.debian.org,
is there a problem?

The second set of tags indicate what releases a bug applies to: O for oldstable
(lenny), S for stable (squeeze), T for testing (wheezy), U for unstable (sid)
or E for experimental.


* Imagine that I start to create a patch: How do I know that there is any
maintainer developping a patch for the same bug?



I don't know how you could know that.


* If I create a bug: Do I have to sign it before sending it to the DM or DD
that maintain the package? And if so, my key is not in keyring.debian.org,
is there a problem?



Anyone can report a bug without signature.

Regards,

Bart Martens
