Well, I currently manually do eix searching to check it, maybe would be a way to compare eix outputs with "${CATEGORY}/${PKGNAME}" from bug summaries (bugs without that naming structure would be uncovered by this, but we would still be able to easily check for obsolete bug reports). Regarding bugs asking package to be readded, that bugs should be assigned to maintainer-wanted and, then, could be filtered. >=20 > > It's not for versions, only package names (there are still bugs > > referring to already removed packages for months) >=20 > The person dumping the package should be checking for open bugs at the ti= me > of removal. >=20 >=20 I agree... but it's usually forgotten as I have seen --=-QBKLZCX45o5tTDhKcyjw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk+KmvgACgkQCaWpQKGI+9Ra3gCeP32g8PS+Ri10XhyTPvoxnxCF 7FwAoIatv/XA3vlhhgIPm9FrIVbMpc1Z =fDBG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-QBKLZCX45o5tTDhKcyjw--
