Closing bugs UPSTREAM

[Leonard den Ottolander]

Hello,

I would like to know what the policy about closing bugs UPSTREAM is. I
feel resolving bugs as UPSTREAM might not be the correct approach if the
bug will be fixed in an update. Also there is the danger of it being
abused as an easy way out. More appropriate would be to close a bug as
UPSTREAM if it can not be addressed locally. Bugs for which upstream
fixes are applied are more appropriately closed CURRENTRELEASE as soon
as the update is made available.

An example of this is
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=114498 . This bug
will be fixed locally with the next update of gnome-panel. Thus I feel
it should be closed CURRENTRELEASE at the release of the update, and not
UPSTREAM.

A good example of closing UPSTREAM might be
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=112469 as this
issue has *not* yet been solved upstream, and thus can not be addressed
locally (I changed my mind on that one ;) .

Leonard.
