Rawhide Rebase Warning to Package Maintainers
Greetings,

I hope everyone is well. This e-mail is intended to inform you about the upcoming bugzilla changes happening around July 27, 2010 (Rawhide bug rebase) and what you need to do, if anything.

We will be automatically changing the version for most rawhide bugs to Fedora 15. This will result in regular bugs reported against rawhide during the Fedora 15 development cycle being changed to version ‘15' instead of their current assignment, ‘rawhide’. This is to align with the branching of Fedora 15 from rawhide and to more accurately tell where in the lineage of releases the bug was last reported.

Note that this procedure does not apply to bugs that are open for the ‘Package Review’ component or bugs that have the FutureFeature or Tracking keywords set. They will stay open as rawhide bugs indefinitely.

If you do not want your bugs changed to version ‘15‘, add the FutureFeature keyword. If you need help changing a large amount of bugs manually, we’d be glad to help. Stop by #fedora-bugzappers on irc.freenode.net and we’ll gladly help you.

Comment Text
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
