What percentage of games pkgs have bugs ? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Eg I amuse myself with games-puzzle/sgt-puzzles ; |
| 16 |
it is maintained upstream with regular updates. |
| 17 |
The only unresolved bug appears to be 602696 |
| 18 |
which relates to version 20161207, which is no longer in the tree : |
| 19 |
why is the bug still marked 'confirmed' ? Shouldn't it be 'resolved' ? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
What justification is there for marking this pkg 'unstable' ? |
| 22 |
My guess is that there are other games pkgs with no valid bug. |
| 23 |

Marking all games 'unstable' still seems to be overkill. |
