Hello
We were looking in Bugzilla queue and the number is horrible. We have loads of issues reported on products that are no longer supported or loads of bugs reported against Tumbleweed.
Petr,
definitely a good idea!
Regarding unsupported releases, what is the plan here?
close the bug as not supported anymore: less work but somewhat annoying and frustrating for the reporter(s)
review each bug and request for verification in newer releases: more work but shows committment
It probably depends, going back far enough if its a bug related to a init script, or older software like KDE4, its probably worth just closing as its likely no longer relevant. Some bugs in lesser used software are probably going to be simple to validate if there fixed others wont. There is also likely a number of cases where the bug is assigned to the wrong person (or a mailing list with no one monitoring) as maintainers change and sometimes don't get updated everywhere so even assigning to the right maintainer so they can look and give an opinion is probably worthwhile in some cases. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
