Subject: [gentoo-dev] What is classified as a "blocker" bug?

I try to make sure that when I file a bug on bugs.gentoo.org
that I set an "appropriate" severity.
Recently, I tried to emerge glademm with gcc 3.3.1 and it
failed to compile. I felt that given the description of
severities in the bugzilla:
Blocker Blocks development and/or testing work
Critical crashes, loss of data, severe memory leak
Major major loss of function
Minor minor loss of function, or other problem
where easy workaround is present
Trivial cosmetic problem like misspelled words
or misaligned text
Enhancement Request for enhancement
then the appropriate severity is "Blocker".
Clearly, I was wrong because it got downgraded to a "major" -
I suspect that this was because I gave a hacky workaround.
Fair enough. But could somebody please clarify what the
severities *really* mean? Preferably on bugzilla itself.
(Given the above descriptions, I would have expected a
downgrade based on having a workaround to be "minor", so
I'm doubly confused.)
I don't actually care what severity is used - but I do like
to get the right one. Or should I just not bother setting
it in future?
