[arch-dev-public] When rebuilding, *please* check open bug reports
Hey guys, This isn't meant to call out a specific case, as I've seen a bit of this lately, and I'm by no means singling out Andrea or the Postgis package on this. However, the postgis (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/postgis/) pacakge was rebuilt today but the bug reports were not looked at which contained a very valid request as well as a patch for the build script, and it was bumped without the bug report being considered or looked at as far as I can tell. tl;dr: if you bump a package version, *please* check bug reports while doing so, especially if it isn't your package. It isn't helpful to just have the latest and greatest if we have outstanding bugs. Thanks, -Dan

You're totally right. Due to my hurry, I forgot to check for opened bugs this time. I agree we should check every time for opened bugs. Sorry for the noise. Regards -- Andrea

...and what about the git "Update of bash completions location" in Todos?

If you bump a package version (e.g. git package), *please* check the Todos page as well. -- Arch Linux Developer http://www.archlinux.org http://www.archlinux.it

Yeah... always blindly follow TODO lists even when they break your package.
