What can FESCo practically do when tens of packagers simply ignore the bugs filed against their components? More importantly, what can FESCo practically do when a component has an abrt bug open for 5 months, roughly 1 new reporter per day is added, and the package owner has not done a single action in bugzilla? [1] If the answer is "kick the package out of the distribution", I'm sad to say the distribution would have some glaring holes. We really need to find a good solution for these cases, or Fedora will, as you say, stop being a distribution. So far, the best I idea can think of is to open up provenpackager access much more, and make it much more acceptable to use it - but that would bring problems of its own. Mirek [1] Yes, this really exists. Another similarly widely-reported bug took 4 months to fix, and I've informally been told there are quite a few such cases. In both cases details withheld, fingerpointing won't help answer the question above. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
