It is your impression that reports filed in Red Hat bugzilla are ignored by Fedora packagers. That's true for some packages [1], but the better fix for that would be to add package maintainers and/or triagers and testers, who don't ignore bugzilla completely. More team-work. The ACLs in pkgdb are there for a good reason. I mean, sometimes the packaging is broken, and even reports about that seem to get ignored. Also, there are upstream developers, who enjoy visiting bug details in Red Hat bugzilla when they are pointed at it. E.g. via a direct link to a stacktrace or via the overview at http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/SRCRPMNAME [1] In other cases, there won't be a response in an upstream bug tracker either. The more tickets, the less likely it is that someone will process them all. Sometimes the code changes so quickly and developers are aware of issues in the replaced code, problem reports are obsolete already when they are filed. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
