Shouldn't have been necessary. A fix for 6 month old https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=571503 implies upgrade to latest stable version.
Yes, it would have been neccessary given the way openSUSE handles things. You should have opend a bug for the wrong timestamps and *additionally* a feature request in openFATE.
In the instant bug it should have been up to a competent assignee to figure out fix methodology. The way things often get backported in openSUSE I couldn't say that version update should or would have been necessary, or a "feature" request to get one. Are feature requests necessary for upgrades of Gnome, KDE, OO.o or Firefox? If so, the system must be broken.
BTW, it speeds up bug handling if you assign the bug right away. To do that take the maintainer 'osc maintainer' will report for a given package. Yes,
I totally do not understand "take the maintainer 'osc maintainer'...".
bugzilla should be able to do something like that but currently it can't.
My mind just can't wrap itself around the Novell way of artificially distinguishing betweeen bugs and features, or following two trackers for what amounts to one purpose, with separate databases for both. I know of no other open source project where this is done - enhancement requests are sensibly kept right alongside known brokenness in the bug trackers for the YaST-less Mandriva, Mozilla, Fedora, KDE, Xfree, Kernel, *buntu, etc. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
