The severity levels should be defined in the bugzilla interface, not on several external websites (wiki,...) https://bugs.gentoo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity please change Severity How severe the bug is, or whether it's an enhancement. to Severity * Blocker - The program just plain does not want to emerge or is a major problem to the system. For example a baselayout issue which prevents a system from booting up would be a sure candidate to be labeled blocker. * Critical - The program has loss of data or severe memory leaks during runtime. Again, an important program like net-tools failing to compile could be labeled critical. It will not prevent the system from starting up, but is quite essential for day to day activities. * Major - The program crashes, but nothing that causes severe damage to the system or information loss. * Minor - The program crashes occasionally with apparent workarounds. * Normal - The default. If you're not sure leave it here unless it's a new build or cosmetic change, then read below for more information. * Trivial - Things such as misspelled words or whitespace clean up. * Enhancement - A request to enable a new feature in a program, or more specifically ''new ebuilds''.
