There is indeed no more information left in that bug and I wonder whether it is useful to keep it opened. #2297, Package: xterm, "xterm sometimes gets mouse-paste and RETURN keypress in wrong order". Seems reproducible and puzzling a lot of people. #2298, Package: trn, "trn bug with shell escaping". trn has been replaced upstream by trn4, apparently, so we're here talking about an old dusty software (installed by 44 ppl, still). #3175, Package: xonix, "xonix colors bad for colorblind". #3180, Package: linuxdoc-tools, "linuxdoc-sgml semantics and formatting problems". There is not info in this bug report about what the bug could be. To close? #3251, Package: acct, "accounting file corruption". Tagget upstream, wontfix. Should this be closed more than 11 years later or is someone still hoping that this is useful? [/bubulle/planet-debian] permanent link Number of bugs reported in Debian per year This week-end, among other things, I played a little to get the number of bugs reported overs years in the Debian BTS. Here are the results: 2007: 53337 2006: 59665 2005: 57436 2004: 62327 2003: 50836 2002: 47618 2001: 46289 2000: 27181 1999: 22448 1998: 15002 1997: 9987 1996: 4205 1995: <2158 First bug for each year: 2008: 458489 Petter Reinholdtsen -> sysqrd Closed (in unstable) 2007: 405152 Martin-Eric Racine -> myspell-lv Closed 2006: 345487 Erich Schubert -> lintian Opened 2005: 288051 Nick Sillik -> gstreamer-misc Closed 2004: 225724 Peter van Rossum -> mldonkey-server Closed 2003: 174888 Chris Garguzi -> hotkeys Closed 2002: 127270 root@ttimo.net ->libapache-mod-auth-pam Closed 2001: 80981 William Steve Applegate -> php4 Closed 2000: 53800 Hamish Moffatt -> sattrack Closed 1999: 31352 Richard Stallman -> dselect Opened LOOK THIS ONE 1998: 16350 Joey Hess -> xbase-clients Closed 1997: 6363 Andreas Jellinghaus -> mgetty-fax Closed 1996: 2158 Ian Jackson -> ncurses3.0 Closed 1995: 563 Ian Jackson -> tar Closed A few interesting things there: apparently the rate is now staging between 50,000 and 60,000 per year stats are less precise for the early years as many bugs are no more in the BTS (apparently that stops in 1999) I can't find the date where the Debian BTS was launched (-devel archives go back to July 1995 only) It bringed me the silly idea to check what are the oldest still opened bugs...next stupid blog entry, thenÂ ! Anyone feeling like doing the same for Launchpad? And, for those who wonder, I of course did all this by hand. No fancy automated script, just my hands and some (little) hammering of the BTS.
