[ubuntu-uk] "Triaged" and "Fix Committed" in Launchpad

[Tyler J. Wagner]

Hi Phill,

After reading the wiki documentation, it seems that your summary doesn't
match it.

You said "Fix Commited means that some one has decided that bug needs to be
fixed."

The wiki says:

Fix Committed:
    Ubuntu bug task: the changes are pending and to be uploaded soon (it's
what PENDINGUPLOAD was in Bugzilla)
        Fix Committed is also used when an updated package exists in a
-proposed repository i.e. hardy-proposed
        Fix Committed is not to be used when a patch is attached to a bug
    Upstream bug task: the fix is in CVS/SVN/bzr or committed to some place

"Fix Committed" would appear to mean, from the wiki, that an actual patch
or fix exists, not that someone is committed to fixing it.

You also said "Fix Released, which then needs testing before it goes onto
the release queue for inclusion in the next series of updates."

Fix Released:
    Ubuntu bug task: a fix was uploaded to an official Ubuntu repository
        N.B. This does not include -proposed i.e. hardy-proposed
        Please don't hesitate to add a changelog as a comment, so people
know in which package version a bug was fixed
        If a bug is fixed in the current development release, it is Fix
Released. If the bug also needs to be fixed in a stable release, use the
"Target to release" link to nominate it for that release.
    Upstream bug task: a release tarball was announced and is publicly
available

The wiki appears to indicate that "Fix Released" means "released to a
stable repository or as a tarball from the upstream developer".

Has the meaning of these terms slipped from the wiki definitions?

Regards,
Tyler
