It only needs following simple instructions. You don't really need to learn anything for this. I'm not asking $grandma to do it, but there are quite a few computer savy folks who wouldn't have much of a problem doing this. I'm suggesting encouraging these folks to be mini contributors in this way. I see no downside here. > Those packagers that are simply to lazy to obey this should move to > another distro or their component be removed from bugzilla to avoid > unnecessary confusion, burden and what not on the whole QA community. That's no where to a solution. Please, constructive ideas would help. You'll have to explain "unnecessary confusion, burden and what not on the whole QA community". I got no clue what that refers to. > FESCO needs to make it mandatory requirements of packagers to be that > bridge for the components they maintain. > JBG It isn't always possible to do. I've seen the amount of bugs that packages receive, bridging all of them to upstream isn't really possible at times. Sometimes the maintainer/up stream cannot reproduce the bug. How is he supposed to work in this case? "Oh! I'll fix it when it happens to me"? regards, Ankur -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
