[opensuse-project] [ANNOUNCE] Bugzilla 4.4.5 Update this weekend
by Michael Schroeder 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Hi openSUSE folks, we're going to update the openSUSE bugzilla from ancient version 3.4.3 to version 4.4.5. We do this mainly for three reasons: - to get new features and better speed - to get better customization support - to get all security holes fixed The update will happen on September 20th, aka this weekend. From a user experience, Bugzilla version 4.4.5 is not very different to 3.4.3, but there are some incompatible changes to watch out for: * NEEDINFO is no longer a state, but a flag. This has the advantage that a bug can have multiple needinfos set. The UI still offers the needinfo checkboxes, so you should not notice this much. * Some states got updated to sync with upstream bugzilla: ASSIGNED has been split into CONFIRMED and IN_PROGRESS. CONFIRMED means that you acknowlede that there is a bug, IN_PROGRESS means that you work on the bug. CLOSED has been merged into VERIFIED. The standard bug life cycle is thus: NEW -> CONFIRMED -> IN_PROGRESS -> RESOLVED -> VERIFIED * Partner IDs are stored as "See Also" URLs. There are shortcuts to add them, e.g. "FATE-2222" maps to the id in fate. There's also "CVE-XXXX" to map to the mitre server for the security inclined. With the update come per-business unit bugzilla styles and product filtering, thus navigating to "bugzilla.opensuse.org" will get you to openSUSE's bugzilla instance in a friendly green look instead of the old wiki page. Note that this is just a different skin for the same novell.com bugzilla, you can even configure it in the bugzilla preferences section. (In case you're wondering, there's also bugzilla.suse.com, bugzilla.netiq.com, and bugzilla.novell.com.) Cheers, Michael. -- Michael Schroeder mls(a)suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF Jeff Hawn, HRB 16746 AG Nuernberg main(_){while(_=~getchar())putchar(~_-1/(~(_|32)/13*2-11)*13);} -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Is this information a closely guarded secret?
by Basil Chupin 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Years ago I was running a Bulletin Board System (BBS) which used software written by a particular (U.S.A.) individual and who was quite openly proud of the international enterprises which had his system installed for communications (for example, SIEMENS was using his software). Occasionally I have the opportunity to try and influence an organisation/individual to switch from you-know-what to Linux - but openSUSE in particular, my argument here being that since I am using openSUSE I can be of more help should assistance be required. At such times it would be MOST helpful if I - or anyone else in the same situation for that matter - could do some "name dropping" and mention that "openSUSE is being used by, for example WWWWWW, XXXXXXX and YYYYYYY! just to mention a few companies". Does the Board know which organisations - local or international - use openSUSE and can this information be made available and be referred to, or is this information not known or not important enough?
