Comment 1 Matthew Miller 2006-07-10 21:51:20 UTC
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!


Comment 2 Jan Kratochvil 2006-07-25 12:25:59 UTC
No reproducibility guide (where to get "vlc").
To be CLOSED-INSUFFICIENT_DATA (why it was not resolved this way after the
timeout automatically?).
Otherwise it would become CLOSED-CURRENTRELEASE anyway.


Comment 3 Matthew Miller 2006-07-25 12:44:49 UTC
There is no timeout. (The goal is to get data, not just close bugs, after all.)
But I'll mark this closed as per your remarks.

Comment 4 Dermot McGahon 2006-07-25 13:24:58 UTC
If anybody had asked me for extra data I would have provided it.

"VLC" is VideoLAN Client and you can get it at www.videolan.org

I'm ok with the bug being closed since it only occurred once a long time ago but
there are holes in your bug process since effectively this bug did not get
investigated at all.

Comment 5 Matthew Miller 2006-07-25 15:43:17 UTC
Yes, I agree that someone should have done that.
