High priority item: bugzilla for packages, including community stuff
But you can already enter your bugs into bugzilla.
... but as of now bugzilla.novell.com is only used to track bugs for packages that are maintained by Novell / SUSE. Having a central place to track bugs for all packages that are available for SUSE Linux would be preferable IMHO.
I fully agree, but I see one problem: How do you avoid that the SUSE developers will have to handle all bugs in communitiy packages? It might be easy to tell for packages that are not in the core distribution (you still may have to re-assign bugs), but if someone creates a modified Apache/KDE/whatelse package, things will become more difficult. I also have an idea how this could be solved: Use the packager field in the RPMs - it now contains http://www.suse.de/feedback for all suse packages [1]. What about putting a direct bugzilla link into the packager field? Someone who wants to file a bugreport should be able to call rpm -qi ;-) Example URL for packager field: https://bugzilla.novell.com?enter_bug.cgi?product=SUSE%20Linux%2010.0&package=apache2&version=2.0.50-150&packager=cboltz "product", "package" and "version" should be quite obvious and, even if not always necessary, can show the packagers package and version even if the user enters a "bad" bug report. "packager" could just be the Novell login name of the packager - and of course the default assignee for the bug. What do you think about this idea? BTW: I guess it would be a bad idea to have a separate bugzilla for packages from $build_service - I can imagine that several bugs in modified packages also exist in the original package. Having everything in one bugzilla means that a packager can CC the bug to the SUSE maintainer etc. which would be more difficult with a separate bugzilla. Regards, Christian Boltz [1] suse.de/feedback is often seen as "black hole", but that's another story ;-) -- Wenn diese Liste über Mailman betrieben würde, dann würden wir den ganzen Tag nichts anderes machen als eine Menschenkette zum nächsten Computerladen aufrechtzuerhalten um RAM in einem konstanten fluss in lists.suse.com einzubauen ;) [Henne Vogelsang in suse-linux]
