Severity
This field describes the impact of a bug.
Blocker
Blocks development and/or testing work
This bug is blocking (or at least should block) development of any app linking
against this lib!
There are external packages too, which this bug renders nonfunctional. The
build of any app (e.g. twinkle) that's shipped with suse10.3 is NOT the only
package that's supposed to work on 10.3.
Upstream is not eager to cope with broken ABI "correct" lib-versions in 10-3,
-which might&should vanish with fix of the bug, thus breaking bin compatibility
another time-, by maintaining different bin-RPMs for each OS revision, with
kinky tests for lib versions inside them.
And even packages remaining from a genuine 10.2 install will break with
runtime-error(!) when updating to 10.3, so this is "by no means a Blocker for
10.3" ???
Priority
This field describes the importance and order in which a bug should be fixed.
This field is utilized by the programmers/engineers to prioritize their work to
be done. The default is P5.
P0 Customer Critical Situation.
P1 Urgent
P2 High
P3 Medium
The recommendation for P2 or even P1 OTOH was out of considerations how much
work a correct fix is now, and how much more it might be in 3 months.
