Hi :) Anyways, getting back to the subject. IMHO, Carlos has a point:
- do we have to open bug reports upstream or do we have to open bug reports in Novell's bugzilla? After all, we're openSUSE users.
- do you suggest we open bug reports upstream for every package? Then why on Earth would we be using openSUSE, we should be using LFS. IMHO, we use openSUSE because it's our "interface" to the developer Community
- Yes, I agree: smolt is NOT a Novell/SUSE project, but you're packaging it. If you don't like receiving mails about those packages: DON'T package them. YOU (Novell/SUSE) are our (users) interface to the developer community.
- Do we have to subscribe to endless mailinglists of all the packages openSUSE has? No, we don't.
I know what it is to work at a vendor and I know what it's like to be the interface between users and 3rd party vendors (aka Partners), that's why I think Novell/SUSE should be the one that receives our "complaints" and Novell/SUSE forwards them upstream, not us (end users). IOW, we report bugs to _our_ source, in this case openSUSE. Our upstream is openSUSE. This might sound harsh but it has to be said.
