Greetings you all After bit of irc discussion there is a compelling reason to move entirely away from Red Hat bugzilla as well as away from concept of hosting our own. Now it pretty much boils down to this. 1. Generic attitude of many maintainers is that reports either go to the correct place ( upstream ) or they get their bugzilla ignored. 2. More often than not downstream maintainer as in packager does not know the code at all so filling the bug downstream makes no sense since it brings just unnecessary latency to the process. 3. Hosting our own bugzilla cost resources and does not solve 1. or 2. I personally for many years have argued against this since to an reporter it might mean having thousand of accounts but given that we are going through new fase and the times are changing in the linux eco system I would like to get your opinion about we stop reporting altogether in Red Hat bugzilla and report only directly upstream as in kernel bugs to the kernel community, Gnome bugs to theirs, KDE to their etc. The obvious benefit of doing this is that our bugs might actually get look at,dealt with as well as all that being done in a shorter time frame. Thoughts and comment. JBG
I have found Redhat bz more responsive, comparatively speaking, than upstream bzs. And, I certainly do not want the logistics involved in knowing numerous upstream bzs. Reporting to one place has worked for years even tho it is not perfect. Maybe implement a little technology that automatically forwards a bz as appropriate based on the package being reported on.
Please don't change the current method. -- Regards, OldFart -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
