[Libreoffice-qa] Bug Fixed in 4.2 branch, broken in 4.1 daily, status thoughts?

[Joel Madero]

Hi All,

This is a general problem that I think we shoudl just talk a bit about. If
we confirm a bug on 4.1 but it's fixed in 4.2 master - what status is
appropriate? Usually WFM is good but it's hard to tell a user "so it'll be
broken for the foreseeable future but by 4.2 release you'll be good to go"

The bug in question isn't major at all (fdo#65550) but looking for
opinions.

Tracking down the appropriate patch could take a lot of time so the option
is:

1. New - try to track down patch but acknowledge that this takes us away
from other tasks
2. WFM - with a note to user that "in a few months it'll be fixed for you"
3 .??


Best,
Joel
