3.4 and bug reports

[Rik]

2/8/11

How do we want to handle the many reports on the bug tracker which deal
with older versions of Octave?  Many distros, like Fedora, simply go
through and close down the old reports and ask users to re-submit if the
problem persists.  This is mildly rude, but also a big time-saver because a
lot of these problems were with building intermediate development versions
of Octave.  These will have been fixed by the 3.4.0 release, or they would
need to be updated anyways to make it clear that something is still wrong.
