Again, just removing information does not help anyone and will have bad impact on the workforce in openSUSE Factory.
Hm, seems you cannot understand this because you _have_ access. From my point of view we wouldn't remove any information if we remove those dead links.
They help you indirectly.
Having them in allows to review whether all patches that were done for SLES are also done for openSUSE. We had a couple of engineers looking especially at this during the last year so that openSUSE does not miss anything important.
Without the bnc numbers it would be really hard to figure out...
I know this because I cannot figure out already now ...
You can. You don't know what the patch is about, but you know patch 3824783 is in both at least. I think an enhancement to the WebUI or OSC that warns about private bnc references on checkin would be best. Something like source validation, but that emits a warning and lets the commit in. Because I'd bet many of those bugs remain private because SUSE employees don't even notice they're introducing dead links for the rest. If they knew, they'd be able to take care of it. The review interface could also mark it, and that would help package reviewers. If you see a private bnc reference, you'll know to check extra carefully whether the changelog text is self-sufficient. If not, you can relax. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
