This is an inevitable artifact of being a community-based project with no strong ability to mandate that anyone do anything. It would be awesome if everyone could be super-responsive with all of their bugs, and knowledgeable about all of the code in the programs they package, and so on, but people have different levels of involvement, commitment, other priorities, and so on. The best way to make this better is to pitch in where you can and set an example. > If it's preferred that bugs against products are reported upstream is there > a document that maps Fedora components to upstream sites? Well, sort of. Each package has a URL as part of its metadata, and you can see that in the Fedora Package Database. For example, here: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/calc But there's no general indication of whether bugs should be filed in a different bugzilla -- nor, really, is there overall project agreement that that's best practice. Adding something like that on a per-package basis to the pkgdb is an interesting thought. -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
