Applying a fix to an older code can be problematic (the code may be completely different - more work, the fix can introduce a new bug - risky for stable release, resources problems - you could theoretically backport fixes for all older releases where applicable, but you would need much more resources, etc). So the policy generally is to backport and release only fixes for bugs which are serious enough (security, serious functionality bug, etc). So e.g. this particular bug will be fixed in current Factory (development) distro, thus in the next stable release (11.1) and won't be fixed for 11.0 or older openSUSE stable releases. Unless the bug is considered serious enough by several people and a fix requested/approved by release managers. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
