#1020449 — Mass-closing old installation-report bugs

FromHolger Wansing <hwansing@mailbox.org>
Date2020-08-04 00:10 +0200
SubjectMass-closing old installation-report bugs
Message-ID<AzQOB-95-5@gated-at.bofh.it>
I'm closing the reports below.

That's installation-reports for Debian 7 with
- undefined errors
- problems which are likely to have been fixed in the meantime
- successful installation

Because of the age, there is no chance to analyse them further and therefore
they are no longer relevant or of any use for current releases:

And thank you for filing these installation bug reports, they have been very 
useful at the time they were filed!
If you know, that the issue you reported (and gets closed here) is still existing
in recent installation images, please file a new report for that!

I don't think we need a new report on this one, but just reopen it,
since it already has all useful information whatever the Debian release?

My thought was, that 64 bit systems are common these days and
people will more likely choose the 64 bit images.
If that is the wrong one, they get the error message about that
and they will try the 32 bit one.

Many years ago, it was the apposite:
people would choose the 32 bit image if unsure, and that could 
lead to the problem addressed with this report.

And if such message was not implemented in the past 10 years,
it will also not be implemented in the next 10 years :-) 

Therefore I think this bug can be closed.

When people understand what a 64/32bit system is, yes.

On https://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/#stable

It is still written "amd64" vs "i386", people will think "I don't have
an amd64, I have an intel", and download the i386 image.

Not really 10 years, rather 4 years. But yes, some features don't get
implemented, that doesn't mean they shouldn't. At some point we won't
have 32bit ports of Debian, but before that we will still have people
making the confusion.

? I don't understand the logic.

If a bug is raised again and again, that should raise developers'
attention. Agree here I seem to be alone raising the concern. I tend to
think that my colleague wouldn't be alone making the mistake, and we
just do not get the grumbling signal of people realizing after
installation that they got a 32bit system, and will just think "bleh,
dumb Debian again" and not bother making a report.

I even less understand the logic. Yes, the bug is still existing: the
installer doesn't warn about installing 32bit on 64bit. But reporting
a new bug report would leave the old one unseen. And it'd then be even
less informative: with the new bug report only we would not remember
that nobody took the care to implement it while it was reported 4 years
ago.

I completely support Holgers' good work, that's not the question!

But point 3 contradicts what you wrote above: not having the information
that the bug was already reported 4 years ago gives a wrong signal to
developers: possibly we don't actually want to spend time implementing
it, and just re-filing a bug report "just because yes it is still not
implemented" gives a wrong priority signal.

I admit I was pushing too much to a fresh start.

Whom ever wants to work on the issue this bugreport is about, probably
doesn't need an open bugreport about it.  The persoon will need an  i386
machine to verify that the i386 image still works fine.  And also need
an  amd64 machine to verify that the i386 image can detect it is on
amd64 hardware.

Presumably, you could link to the old bug in the new one ;-)

And thank you for filing these installation bug reports, they have been very 
useful at the time they were filed!
If you know, that the issue you reported (and gets closed here) is still existing
in recent installation images, please file a new report for that!
