Bug expiry in Launchpad is changing
32
------------------------------------
34
The way Launchpad handles inactive bugs is changing. This affects your project
35
%(name)s at https://launchpad.net/%(project)s
38
What's going to change
39
-----------------------
41
Right now, the bug expiry option is enabled for %(name)s but is inactive
42
across all of Launchpad.
44
We weren't happy with the way bug expiry worked, so we turned it off. However,
45
now we're ready to switch it back on.
47
In two weeks, we will re-enable automatic bug expiry in Launchpad. However,
48
at the same time we will deselect the bug expiry option on each project,
52
What this means for your project
53
--------------------------------
55
If you want Launchpad to automatically expire bugs that appear to be inactive,
56
you need to select the 'Expire "Incomplete" bug reports when they become
57
inactive' option on this page:
59
https://bugs.launchpad.net/%(project)s/+configure-bugtracker
61

This feature has not been active on Launchpad for some time, despite
42
the feature being enabled by default when registering projects. We
43
have done some work to allow us to re-enable this feature. We will
44
be turning auto-expiring of bugs back on two weeks from now. This
45
means that roughly around 13 September 2010 bugs meeting the conditions
46
outlined in the help wiki above will be auto expired. They will be
47
marked with the "Expired" status in Launchpad bugs.
49
However, since this feature has been enabled by default but
50
inactive, we are turning off the configuration option that reads:
52
'Expire "Incomplete" bug reports when they become inactive'
54
If you indeed want this behavior on Launchpad, you will need to
55
visit the configuration page on Launchpad and check this option
56
again. Your bug tracker config page is found at:
58
https://bugs.launchpad.net/%(project)s/+configure-bugtracker
60
We appologize for this inconveniece for those wanting this feature,
61
but we felt it best to be cautious and not auto expire a project's
62
bugs without giving advance notice.
65
The Launchpad Bugs Team
66
If you enable automatic bug expiry, Launchpad will start to automatically
67
apply the new 'Expired' status to inactive bugs from around the 13th of
70
If you do not want Launchpad to automatically expire inactive bugs, you should
76
Most projects have some bugs that languish with no activity. They clutter bug
77
listings and, let's face it, are unlikely to ever come back to life.
79
Automatic bug expiry lets you hand Launchpad the burden of dealing with these.
81
We're disabling the feature on your project, and others, so that Launchpad
82
continues to work for you in the way it does now -- i.e. without automatic bug
83
expiry. If you do want to re-enable bug expiry, it'll take just a few seconds.
