I have had bugs open for very long times (several years) without being resolved. (Though in the worst case, the developers may not have access to the hardware that is having an issue.) My recent frustration is with two Sabayon issues and the assignee hasn't even confirmed they can (or can't) replicate the problem after a couple of weeks. Fedora's bug handling is not its strength. Fedora is open source, so you might look to see if you can do more to try to solve the problem. Depending on your background, time constraints and how important the problem is to you, you might be able to make or get a fix for it. A good idea is to search to see if other people had the problem and what they did about it. There may already be a fix or work around that hasn't made it back into Fedora. You can also look through the code. You don't necessary need to be a great programmer or even fluent in the language the code is written in to spot some errors. For example I have a problem with the current X driver for ATIs and the issue is very low priority for the developers because it involves old hardware (an LCD monitor that doesn't do EDID). I don't understand the code well enough to write a proper fix, but I was able to figure out a hack that will work for me. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
