but there needs to be a mechanism in place for bug reporting and resolution when problems arise with OBS packages. [...] One would think Novell would jump at the chance to handle bug resolution of OBS packages.
First of all you need to draw a line between devel projects like Base:System and home projects. Home projects are the playground of their respective owner and no other is responsible. If you use packages from there you're the only one to blame. After all, if these were packages offered from some random site you would contact the site owner and not the company that hosts the server. Most packages in devel projects have a bugowner and you can assign reports in bugzilla to them. You get the maintainer via 'osc maintainer <project> <package>' but osc only gets you the name, not the full address so you're better off checking via the web.
Novell could lend a hand review the build details and solve any issues with the package and then give it the "official stamp" and market the fact that opensuse packages are current through XYZ version based on the OBS build.
No company could afford the resources to do such a thing! Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
