</I>><i> In fact I think Frederic was talking about several versions of the same
</I>><i> package, not necessarily several versions of the distribution. However,
</I>><i> I don't think we can or should ask people to write down every package
</I>><i> version which has the bug.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> We can guess many things automatically, provided the information is of
</I>><i> good quality (the RPM/SRPM field always has a complete filename in it,
</I>><i> and all affected versions of the distribution are flagged, whatever the
</I>><i> way used for that : multivalue field when it'll be possible, whiteboard meanwhile...).
</I>><i>
</I>><i> For those who don't wan't to read everything, example 1 may be enough,
</I>><i> I'm just trying to cover several cases, not that every case brings
</I>><i> something really important to the discussion. My point in those examples
</I>><i> is that we can provide useful information regarding bugs on packages in
</I>><i> software managers or mageia-app-db, but that depends on the information
</I>><i> present in the bug reports, that's what I'd like this to be taken into
</I>><i> account in bug handling processes.

What about using the changelog for signalling what bug
have been closed ?
Something like what is done by debian
