Yes I know. It will be rebuilt just as soon as all the dependencies are available. Hello, This is the first reminder (step 3 from https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails_to_install/#_package_removal_for_long_standing_ftbfs_and_fti_bugs). If you know about this problem and are planning on fixing it, please acknowledge so by setting the bug status to ASSIGNED. If you don't have time to maintain this package, consider orphaning it, so maintainers of dependent packages realize the problem. The only information you need is that which I have already provided, namely that this is waiting on a fix for BZ#1785415 so please do stop wasting my time with ridiculous needinfo requests. Sorry I mean to say BZ#1841335 but the point is that it's clearly listed as a blocking this bug. The automated comment said: "If you know about this problem and are planning on fixing it, please acknowledge so by setting the bug status to ASSIGNED." And that is indeed the way to stop the reminders. The "ridiculous needinfo requests" is a pre-requisite for following the policy. It doesn't say that in the original message when the bug is opened though, so there's no way to avoid at least one needinfo unless you're psychic. It's an abuse of "needinfo" though - there was no information being requested here, it was just using "needinfo" as a way to get bugzilla to annoy people with daily emails demanding an update. The problem with the policy is that it's geared to an assumption that people aren't paying attention and need to be constantly prodded to look at bugs which means that those of us that are paying attention and are aware of our bugs are forced into having to know the right magic changes to make to bugs (whether changing status to ASSIGNED or acknowledging needinfo requests) to stop the onslaught of automated bug spam from filling our mailboxes. All the extra noise actually makes it more likely that I will miss things, not less :-( > It doesn't say that in the original message when the bug is opened though... I believe this is fixed now, right Igor? > The problem with the policy is that it's geared to an assumption that people aren't paying attention... Unfortunately, this is the majority case :( > All the extra noise actually makes it more likely that I will miss things, not less :-( Yes, I believe that during "things are slightly broken" periods, this is annoying for packagers who are aware. I don't know how to fix this wile keeping it working for the majority case. I suppose that we should make it more clear that "set this to ASSIGNED to acknowledge you are aware and will eventually fix this" is the appropriate "stop" mechanism (instead of, for example, simply saying so). |
