Just for curiosity, all BNCs listed on it give us Acess Denied :)
That's an unfortunately side effect of the bugs originating from SUSE's work on the upcoming SUSE Linux Enterprise version 12 - Bugs filed against SLE* are typically private as they may contain things like customer information which probably shouldn't have a wide audience.
But not all these details are confidential. And it causes extra work and irritates community members. It's not the first time people raise this kind of question.
When those bugs get fixed in SLE* and those fixes incorporated into openSUSE Factory, that's great for for openSUSE, but yes, the bugs typically remain private even though the bug ID's end up in the changelogs
I know it's not ideal.
The 'easy' (tongue-in-cheke) solution would be to make sure that more people get openSUSE Factory..if openSUSE finds and files all the bugs first, they'll be public bugs and those are the references that should end up in changelogs
More seriously, this is something I'm keen to work on and I'm open to suggestions
As soon as a product got released bug reports should be opened. If there is still some critical detail included with the report we're able to mark a comment as private. But this approach might not work in all cases. An alternative would be to file an extra and open bug report for openSUSE and reference only this one in the package change log. The SUSE internal one would get a reference to the public one. Cheers, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
