Request for reopening of issue #25 #27

Closed AmirIHz closed 8 years ago

AmirIHz commented 8 years ago

Issue #25 has been closed, however, the issue has not been resolved. Could you please reopen the issue. I have added a comment: https://github.com/sportngin/brew-gem/issues/25#issuecomment-220072317 explaining why the issue has not been resolved.

Once issue #25 has been reopened, this issue (request for reopening of issue #25) can be closed.

Please do not open issues asking to reopen other issues. Communication can continue on a closed issue.

This was the only way to get someone's attention as the closed issue seemed to have been abandoned. I did wait... At any rate I opened this issue referring to the closed one based on the following suggestion:

Github has very simple rights/privileges (and even simpler management for them).

If you are not a collaborator of a repo, then (in regards to issues)

  • you can open issues
  • you can comment on all existing issues (open or closed)
  • you can close your own issues
  • you can re-open your own issues *if you closed them yourself
  • you cannot close or re-open issues opened by someone else
  • you cannot re-open your own issues if a repo collaborator closed them

The situation you report falls in the last case, so you cannot reopen it. You can ask in the issue thread if a repo collaborator can reopen it, or you can open a new issue and reference the old one (by mentioning its number preceded by a hash sign, e.g. #123).
