When reporting a new bug against component X, "bug reporting guidelines" would be displayed (Launchpad already supports this). The guidelines can say "Please report all your bugs here" (or be empty), or they can also say "If you bug looks like this, it is a probably packaging bug, report it here. If you bug looks like that, it is possibly an upstream bug, please report it at URL". > > Why this should be a maintainer choice? Because it is his time and energy investment. Speaking for myself, I would be willing to package and maintain some great packages for Fedora, but only if I don't have to do a "full support", but just "packaging support". I don't have time nor knowledge for full-fledged support for various projects. So here's the choice - either we give the decision to maintainers and we might have a lot of software packaged in Fedora, or we force them to do full support, and we will have just the most common software in Fedora (but "perfectly" supported </irony>). > I'd rather have limited set of packages that are well supported with bugzillas acted upon than load of packages where bugzillas are all NEW or UPSTREAM. -- Jan Pazdziora Principal Software Engineer, Satellite Engineering, Red Hat -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
