AJ,

Reply off list, as I'm not sure if it's of general interest.
And top-post, because GroupWise for some reasons does not like your mails and 
does not indent your text :( 

So in short: I installed a Bugzilla in our environment here myself and I like 
it (probably because I am so used in filing bugs in bnc).
One feature I am 'missing' from the upstream bugzilla is the status 'NEEDINFO' 
which is available in bnc. So it seems this is one of the
modifications you use in your own bugzilla?

Will this change ever be published upstream? Or is it possible to get some of 
the modifications from your system (especially, as mentioned, this
NEEDINFO in INFOPROVIDER' thingy).

Thank you veyr much!
Dominique

Subject: [opensuse-factory] Novell Bugzilla Update to 3.2 and a Guided Report 
Mode
To make bug reporting easier, we will be updating Novell’s Bugzilla to the 
latest stable release (Bugzilla 3.2) with some additional features added by 
Novell. This update will take place on Saturday, January 10th,
and Bugzilla will be unavailable from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. MST (that's 
13:00 UTC to 17:00 UTC).

One significant change is that we will have a new guided mode for reporting of 
bugs that is default for non-Novell accounts.

The guided report mode is a feature of bugzilla itself that we just enable.  
It gives smart hints for reporting bugs including bad and good examples, makes 
the report more structured, suggests “hot” duplicate bugs and asks for 
reproducibility, expected and actual result.  This should help to create 
better bug reports and thus help with better resolving of bugs.

For those that use the unguided mode and want to use the guided mode (or the 
other way round), you can bookmark a template of the “New Bugreport” (see 
http://news.opensuse.org/2009/01/07/novell-bugzilla-update-to-32-and-a-guided- 
report-mode/ for details) . Once you’ve done this, manually edit the URL of 
the bookmark and append “?format=guided” (if you want guided mode) or remove 
it if you do not want it. You can then use this bookmark for easy access, I 
have created that way a bookmark for openSUSE 11.1 bug reports that has 
already some stuff filled in, e.g. set “Found By” to “Community User”. Note 
that the guided mode will only be available after the update of bugzilla!

The changes for 3.2 in the upstream bugzilla are documented at the bugzilla 
side. In addition, a couple of bugs and enhancements in our bugzilla have been 
fixed.

Please see further details at http://news.opensuse.org/2009/01/07/novell- 
bugzilla-update-to-32-and-a-guided-report-mode/

Btw. if you want to report a bug, please check also our guidelines at

Andreas
