--- Comment #56 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello Nikolay,
--- quote --- It still doesn't work, so I'm not sure if it make sense to close this. Unless someone will open next one. --- quote ---
well, I'm sure you know how it should be.
Meta bugs dealing with multiple underlying issues (missing infrastructure/interfaces, stubs, method implementations) just for the sake of "make my app work" should be avoided.
If people don't follow-up then let it be. At one point the missing infrastructure will be implemented and apps "magically" start to work - the progress will be untracked though. If you are personally interested on tracking the progress in detail, create follow-ups as needed (as I do).
Reading the history ... unfortunately even long timers have a different opinion on this:
Austin:
--- quote --- I would disagree. The original bug says the video demo doesn't work. This bug may be fixed, or it could be hidden by a new bug. I'd say leave this open until the demo works, then close it out. --- quote ---
But do as you want, reopen. I personally don't like this "meta" approach. Just imagine if everyone takes this approach - you end up with potentially thousands of "make my app/game X to work" tickets which results in a mess (overlapping underlying/individual issues, regressing each other).
