Some of the bugs are 5 minute fixes that anyone could do. Rather than just fix them, we have to fill out more items about each bug and pray someone from Red Hat deems it worthy enough to fix. I have had several bugs opened and then years later closed when FCx or RHELx was no longer supported and told to refile them if they still exist. That leaves a bad taste in my mouth and is really against most of the the open source models I am aware of. If I can fix it, or at least provide a patch to fix it, why should it take year(s) for evaluation? I normally find that bugs on former extras packages were taken care of much faster. Most often now, I will just create my own package/patches and apply on my systems rather than try to file bug against any core package. It gets results. For example the last bug I filed (that I recall anyway) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=236697 was put in April. I haven't heard one single thing back on it. This is proof to me that either the team maintaining core packages is too small, or there are lots of people at RH who don't care about bug reports. stahnma -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
