Hi all, When Fedora 8 is out, the number of issues that affect two supported Fedora releases will raise. Currently issues are usually either common for Fedora Core 6 and some releases RHEL, (where the package is typically owned by a Red Hat employee who has to care about fixing the bug in supported products) or specific to what used to be Fedora Extras and Fedora 7. Traditionally, I did not use to care about Extras, but situation changed when Fedora 7 was out with Extras merged in. With Fedora 8 most issues will affect two Fedora releases and I am curious how are we going to track the issues in Bugzilla, and how will Bodhi -- the update system deal with it. 1.) We could clone bug for each supported release. This would be a bit impractical, because of redundant information and comments that would go to two different places. But this will play nicely with Bodhi and references in the update mails. 2.) We could file a bug in the Security Response product and create private tracking bugs. For Bodhi to be happy we would reference both parent bug and tracking bugs. Downside would be that developer would be confused with three bugs filed for one issue. Maybe the Description in the tracking bug would clarify this to him. 3.) Create a bug for Fedora devel and then use flags to denote which releases need fixing and/or were fixed; Maybe something like fc7-fixed, fc8-fixed with values like " " = don't know if is affected, "-" = doesn't need fixing, "?" = need fixing, "+" fixed. Bodhi could be made to respect the flags and only close the bugs if nothing = "?". Downside would be assignee -- packages don't have to be owned by the same owner in all branches. Or are we going to handle that in another way? SFM?
