When it is an upstream bug, we report it upstream and - if possible - we fix it but we usually fix it only for our next product version (currently openSUSE 11.2). Reasons for "not backporting": 1. Lack of time, compare http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2009-04/msg00003.html 2. We provide only fixes for really severe bugs in released openSUSE versions (in particular security bugs). The reason behind this policy is the "lack of time" problem. In contrast for our business products like Suse Linux Enterprise Server and Desktop (SLES and SLED) we can provide also fixes for normal bugs if it can be fixed in the current package version and if the fix does not break anything else and if the customer has an appropriate support contract with us (we offer several levels of support for SLES and SLED). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
