'closed' is approximately 'fixed on trunk', and is a sort of vague
overview of the current status of the bug ("We're done working on that
one"). Far more importantly, make sure that Fixed-by tags are added to
all bugs you fix with a suitable revision - that's the really
important part. unassigned/assigned/closed describes the *process*,
while Fixed-by describes the bug. You can catch up on bugs that have
been missed in the past by sending mail to address@hidden
with lines of the form
"fixed 123 address@hidden/tla--devo--1.3--patch-27".
The preferred interface, however, does not involve you understanding
this.
When you write a patch log, include headers like 'Bug: 123' and
'Merge: 456' to describe bugs which are fixed and merges that have
been applied.
After committing, mail the whole damn patch log to the list with a
subject line like:
[COMMIT: address@hidden/tla--devo--1.3--patch-27] pika-escaping interface
change catch-up
(That's "[COMMIT: $revision] $summary")
It'll sort the rest out based on who you are and what the current
state of the bug is, following project policy. The above is
appropriate for *everybody*, without restriction, including people who
have no association with the project but happen to have fixed a bug on
their own private branch.
[A few examples of current project policy: for you, personally, it'll
assign the bug to you, as you're now responsible for getting it into
the trunk. For Tom, it just kicks the bug into closed/. For unrelated
users, it doesn't change the bug status - but in all cases, it adds a
Fixed-by field].
