What is the problem about registering? The *only* requirement is an email address and assigning a password.
Not correct. Required fields are: First Name* Last Name* Job Title* Company* Street Address* City* Zip/Postal Code* Country* State/Province* Telephone* Email Address* Username* Password* Security Question* Security Answer* Repeat Security Answer*
See: https://secure-www.novell.com/selfreg/jsp/createAccount.jsp
This is a "little bit" more than an email address and a password.
We had this discussion before. And Marcus Meissner showed you a way to achieve the same with much less information provided.
Could you please point me to the link where it can be found? The opensuse list search function does not work.
Sorry, I've not found it. Please check the archive. I believe it was in a thread you and Marcus Meissner had been involved. Either on this or on the openSUSE-factory list. It's an approach which requires much, much less details than the default for openSUSE defect reports.
We as developers are not your bugzilla proxy. As soon as any of us would file the report all further questions would have to be passed back to this list. That's no fun. This is a game where both parties have to be involved.
Well, does this mean, if an end user won't make a bug report, the issue won't be fixed at all, even if it is obviously a serious one? Because the developers are not interested in fixing it?
As a developer I'll care and fix issues I'm aware of. And the tool to get aware of an issue is bugzilla.
If I am responsible for something and someone notifies me about a problem related to it, I try to look into it. Surely will not say that I fix the issue only if the person makes official notes. Maybe this policy is - at least partially - behind the continuous overall loss of opensuse quality.
Not all SUSE developers are reading all openSUSE lists. In particular those with a bad noise to content ratio. But we all use bugzilla. Bugzilla is the tool the project uses. Bugzilla isn't perfect. But till now we've not seen an alternative which fits better to all our needs. Thanks, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
