Re: Shorting packages upgrades first could prevent a lot of misguided work

 

Stephen M. Webb:
If the bug has been fixed upstream, the upstream bug task should
have the status of 'Fix Committed' or 'Fix Released'.

Although this is true, bugs that request upgrade are still the ones which fix will make the most difference in the software's quality, and managing them is so fast it will not create delays in solving critical bugs.

You can't know directly, so the rest of bugs will still need to be managed in a one by one manner.

On the other hand, you can mark bugs you know as being fixed in the upgraded package version and not being in the old one; also to figure out easier that the bug perhaps is not longer present if the spotted version is the old one.
