What I wish is to limit the search to bugs filed against F25 or F26, so I goto the "Version:" select list only to find it contains approximately 2,053 selections from which to choose (I saved https://bugzilla.redhat.com/query.cgi to disk and found the options to begin on line 1268 and end on line 5273). That many selections are totally unwieldy in a box that shows only 6 selections at a time, particularly since that list contains a mixture of alpha-numeric and numbers-only selections of unknown sort state (A=a, B=b, etc., or not) and I don't know whether I'm looking for 26, F26 or f26. I've been doing Bugzilla searches since registering on bugzilla.mozilla.org in 2001. bugzilla.redhat.com is consistently the most difficult BZ installation I routinely need to use, mainly because of huge "select" lists, "Version:", "Product" and "Component" in particular. >> Where does one find errata that closed bugs for yet-to-be releases refer to? e.g. >> libdb: Assumes that internal condition variable layout never changes >> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1394862 > I have no idea what you're asking here. Can you explain in more detail? Bug 1394862's status is CLOSED ERRATA. According to http://www.dictionary.com/browse/errata?s=t errata means: "1.plural of erratum. 2.a list of errors and their corrections inserted, usually on a separate page or slip of paper, in a book or other publication; corrigenda." Knowing that definition, I expect a web search to find me a list describing something about the state of whatever package, applicable to the not yet released Fedora 26, contains a fix for that bug, but searching found me no such list. :-( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_status states a bug with status ERRATA has a fix that "is available", but I suspect that for this bug and many others, such status has been applied prematurely/prospectively, confirming propriety of some kind of available status list. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
