I disagree about the bug being open. A lack of filed bugs could mean that
no one CARES about the pkg at all. And if we have pkgs which are not being
maintained AND no one cares enough to file a bug about then either they
are:
1. extraordinarily stable
2. dead upstreams
3. unmaintained
4. unusued
in ANY of those cases I'd want to start thinking about nuking the pkg from
fedora.
So that means that for example for the openoffice.org-dict-cs_CZ package
I'll get the nag bug report before each and every Fedora release?
It is definitely not 4. however 1. and 2. apply to it. As this is just a
czech spelling and hyphenation dictionary which is pretty good one and
we do not have any alternative anyway I do not think that 2. matters
much.
OK, I think my next changelog entry in the .spec will be something
like:
- rebuilding just for the sake of not getting a nonsense bug report
opened against the package
