Greetings. bugzilla.redhat.com has rolled out support for subcomponents in their latest update. See: https://www.redhat.com/archives/bugzilla-announce-list/2013-December/msg00000.html for more info I suspect we will have some packages that will want to take advantage of these. I know the kernel maintainers have expressed interest in it. In their case, they want to be able to put bugs (or have them just filed in) subcomponents with different owner/cc lists. So, I'd like to collect questions and gather information from maintainers on what they would use this for and get FESCo to look at the policy issues before we implement anything. Off the top of my head: Policy: - Who can use subcomponents? Any package? Packages that are acked by FESCo or some other body? - Who manages the subcomponents point of contact and cc? maintainers of the primary component, or should the subcomponents have different approveacls lists? Implementation: - pkgdb2 is close to a early release, do we want to try and add support for subcomponents before we release it? Or just push it later in a update/point release? In any case we might think about how to make implementing things easier now even if we don't implement anything now. - If we don't implement now, is there some hacky way we can still do things for a limited number of components? Like say the kernel? - We will need to modify our sync to bugzilla scripts to handle subcomponents. Not sure how much work this will be. ;( Other thoughts or ideas? kevin
