[Python-apps-team] Bug#513183: Correct severity

[Vincent Danjean]

severity 513183 normal
thanks

  This bug is not in the core mercurial (ie the core software works
correctly). It is in an extension (hgk).
  I really do not think that such a bug should prevent mercurial to be
released with lenny (which would be the case if the severity is kept at
'serious' level).

  I think that this bug in hgk will be corrected now that it has been
discovered. But, unless someone comes quickly with a good patch, I do not
think it will be corrected before lenny.
  And the workaround is simple: just correct the mercurial configuration
so that the warning is not triggered anymore.

The message is already on stderr:
vdanjean at eyak:~$ cat ~/.hgrc
[extensions]
hgext.yo=
vdanjean at eyak:~$ hg > /dev/null
*** failed to import extension hgext.yo: No module named yo
vdanjean at eyak:~$
