-1, you really cant automate this. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
- for eg, keyword req, the version doesnt really matter and is usually |
| 14 |
just there to help but should really be read as latest version; |
| 15 |
closing/ignoring the bug while the latest version still lacks the |
| 16 |
keywords is just wrong. |
| 17 |
- for stablereq, that's a different story |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
- for other bugs, some may have been fixed independently upstream, but |
| 20 |
usually, they dont fix by themselves, so if a bug didnt get |
| 21 |
attention, chances are its still valid. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
moreover, doing this, you'll just encourage people not to fill the |
| 25 |
version |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
IOW: If you want a cleaner bug list, ignore stable/kw reqs, then pay |
| 29 |
attention to your bugs and fix them :) |
