We picked this up and accepted it already, but for the public record, the process is documented here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process To distil, you just mark the bug as blocking the appropriate tracker bug, in this case, 'F16Blocker'. There is a long-standing problem in that you need editbugs privileges to do this (so you need to be either a packager or a bugzapper), whereas we really want *anyone* with an account to be able to propose a blocker bug; I've had an issue filed with RH's Bugzilla team for a while requesting that they change this, but no joy so far. :( The fallback if you don't have the privileges to mark a bug as blocking another is to alert someone on the QA team who does; mailing this list or the test list will usually achieve that. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
