paraphrasing comment 0 (for those lacking access): 1-multiple URLs for each bug bloat and clutter browser history 2-dismal login persistence
This bug will be two years old next month, and has yet to draw its first comment.
That's disappointing. I filed a similar bug (#776191, but unfortunately it's restricted to employees only probably because I forgot to tick the "make this public" checkbox when I filed it) back in August 2012. It's seen several replies since then, but progress has been incredibly slow.
Part of its lack of attention is probably is that it is one of those secret bugs reachable only by Novell employees, which makes it akin to a chicken & egg problem.
No, #753203 is publically accessible by anyone with a bugzilla account. However I've requested internally that someone responds with a status update to this.
Lack of login persistence bothers me most. Login is a slow process, a problem of its own, like the slowness of bugzilla.novell.com generally. Since login needs to be repeated multiple times each day by those casually working through bug follow-up, it makes absence of persistence even more annoying.
Yes, it's a stupid waste of time.
Novell's own bugs aren't reachable except to a limited audience anyway, so why does everyone working openSUSE bugs need to be subjected to rapid timeout? What exactly is the risk from having login last at least the duration of a browser session?
Unfortunately it's not a simple matter of tweaking a configuration setting somewhere. I've asked the owner of these two bugs to communicate more details in public. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner@opensuse.org
