Launchpad itself

rapt should have bug reporting disabled

Asked by Edward Z. Yang

Steps to reproduce:

1. Navigate to APT-project page https://launchpad.net/apt-project
2. Click "Report a bug"

Expected behavior: Bug reporting for APT is disabled, and information about the correct channels to report bugs
Actual behavior: 'rapt' is selected as the default project to report against.

What's going on here? Well, apt-project is a project group with four members, three of which have disabled bug reporting, but one of which has not. So if someone (quite reasonably) navigates to apt-project in hopes of submitting a bug and doesn't look too closely at the actual project it is filed against, they will accidentally file the bug against rapt. By the way, I think five of the bugs in this list need to be reclassified: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rapt

Probably the right thing to do is disable bug reporting against rapt and then have a nice message on APT-project saying how to report bugs.

I'll subscribe the maintainer for the APT project as a whole.

I closed the rapt bugreport now. Its a bit unfortuante that LP does not support disabling this for the project.

Can you help with this problem?
