Somehow I missed that point in the description. "Recent" could be an option or a simple heuristic, like "archived less than one mont ago". Another possible meaning for "recent" would be "In the last X releases of the package", although the relevance of the release count varies heavily from one package to another.<br><br>> For a give pkg, you already have the list of resolved bugs not<br>> archived (that happened after 30 days of inactivity).<br><br>The bug I gave as an example was archived and reopened, through a new bug report, just 3 days after its archival. But maybe that was an extreme case, because 30 days should be more than enough to consider a bug closed. The way I see it, the user would initially have the list of open and unarchived bugs and, if the bug is not in there, press a "Show recently archived" button, which would trigger another query to BTS (select bugs of package archived in the last 30 days).<br>Another possibility would be adding 2 radio buttons to the package selection screen, giving a (cumulative) choice on which bugs to retrieve: "Open and unarchived bugs", "Open, unarchived and recently archived".<br><br>> <br>> If you think about the whole BTS, consider that reportbug (and his<br>> companion querybts) are very package-centric, and I don't know who<br>> feasable is to extend for this quite peculiar request.<br>> <br>> Regards,<br>> -- <br>> Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu)<br>> My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/<br>> Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi<br><br>Cheers,<br> Elideb<br><br> <br /><hr />Noticias, servicios, tendencias. <a href='http://homepage.msn.com/es-es/index.html' target='_new'>Haz de MSN.ES tu pág. de inicio</a></body>
