 Handling bugs from removed packages
 ===================================
 
-1) Get the list of "interesting" packages:
-use the list generated by bapase/bugs_rm_pkgs.rb
-lists bugs that:
+Bugs filed against packages removed from testing and unstable must be closed,
+so they can be properly archived. To deal with version-tracking, the version
+must be <last version in Debian>+rm.
+
+I wrote a few dirty scripts to help automate this task.
+
+First, there's svn.d.o/collab-qa/bapase/bugs_rm_pkgs.rb. This script generates
+http://qa.debian.org/~lucas/bapase/bugs_rm_pkgs.txt (updated every 6 hours).
+This script lists bugs that:
  - are not marked as done
  - don't affect testing, unstable or experimental
  - don't  belong to a package in testing, unstable or experimental
 
-For each package, check:
+This is only a list of good candidates. Many of those bugs shouldn't be closed!
+
+Then, someone needs to take a package from the list, and check:
 - if the bugs could be reassigned to another package (maybe discuss with the
 new package's maintainers). for example, bugs in linux-image-2.6.22-3-686
 might have to be reassigned to another kernel package
-- find the removal in removals*txt, find the removal bug, read the removal bug
-- close all bugs with a Version: tag, using:
-  <last version in Debian>+rm as version string
-(using the mass-close script helps)
+- or find the removal in removals*txt, find the removal bug, read the removal bug
 
+If the bugs should be closed, the mass-close script (in .....bapase/rm_pkgs/)
+can help. This script fetches all the open bugs for a given package, then opens
+an editor so you can edit the mail that will be sent to close the bugs. Then,
+the mail is sent to each bug (one mail per bug).
+
+in bapase/rm_pkgs, there's also get-removals.txt, to fetch all the lists of
+removals from ftp-master.
+
+Example:
+tkirc was removed from testing and unstable in 2005. Its removal bug is #328601. Grepping removals*txt reveals:
+removals-2005.txt-[Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2005 15:05:14 -0700] [ftpmaster: Joerg Jaspert]
+removals-2005.txt-Removed the following packages from unstable:
+removals-2005.txt-
+removals-2005.txt:     tkirc |    1.202-8 | source, all
+removals-2005.txt-Closed bugs: 328601
+removals-2005.txt-
+removals-2005.txt-------------------- Reason -------------------
+removals-2005.txt-RoQA; unused, out of date, alternatives available
+removals-2005.txt-----------------------------------------------
+
+So I run ./mass-close:
+collab-qa/bapase/rm_pkgs$ ./mass-close 
+Usage: mass-close sourcepackage last-version-in-debian removal-bugno
++rm will be added automatically.
+please set the RMFROM and RMSIG env variables

+collab-qa/bapase/rm_pkgs$ cat config-lucas 
+export RMFROM="Lucas Nussbaum <lucas at lucas-nussbaum.net>"
