Exciting news from the fast-moving world of RH Bugzilla administration: a mere, fleeting year and a half after I filed the initial request, it is finally the case that any registered Bugzilla user can now change the Blocks: (and Depends On:) field of any Fedora bug! Thanks to Matt Tyson for doing this at last. What this means is you no longer need editbugs privileges to be able to propose blocker bugs. This was never intended to be the case, it was only an unfortunate consequence of the mechanism used for nominating bugs as blockers. Now anyone with a BZ account can follow the instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process to nominate a bug as a release blocker, or https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_nth_bug_process to nominate one as 'NTH' (which means it does not block release, but freeze can be broken to take a fix for the bug: it denotes bugs important enough to merit freeze breaks). To nominate a bug as a blocker for F18 final, for instance, mark it as blocking the bug 'F18Blocker'. Please use these powers wisely! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
