I really wonder why you find it worthwhile to waste both your and our time this way.

Thanks very much. I've reported hundreds of bugs in Open Suse over the years and almost all bugs I've reported have been fixed by Open Suse developers or fixed upstream. Almost all Open Suse developers are happy to fix bugs or report them upstream. For reasons I don't know, you appear to refuse my bug reports. I can think of a few solutions 1. mark all my bug reports as "Don't send to L Lunak". 2. take this issue up with your manager. If you can't or won't fix my bug reports, at very least please send them upstream. I don't understand how your solution helps open source software make progress. -- 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.

I'm not refusing your bugreports, I'm telling you to report them upstream.

Good idea in theory, but in practice there are thousands of open suse packages, of which koffice is one, and so I would need to have thousands of accounts to do this for all my bug reports. This isn't going to happen anytime soon.

I have hundreds of (mostly real) bugs assigned to me and gets tens of new ones weekly, and I spend considerable portion of my time just sorting out through them, without doing anything actually useful.

If you have too much work, I suggest having a chat with your immediate manager to reallocate bugs to those folks who have more time.

Or, of course, if you don't like my resolution and insist, I can fix your minor issues when I find the time.

Fine. I recommend having a look at bugs 443444, 495465 and 477654 for examples of bug report handling I was happy with.

I expect that to be around 2016 or possibly later. But, if you really want to be helpful, please report minor KDE issues directly upstream.

As I indicated above, this isn't going to happen anytime soon. Sorry, but I don't have enough volunteer time to do this. To be clear, you intend to go through multiple releases of the Open Suse product with known, but unfixed, bugs ? -- 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.
