Hello, let me quote first: What |Removed |Added -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Component|Gnome |GNOME Product|SUSE LINUX 9.2 Professional |SUSE Linux 10.1 Resolution| |FIXED Fixed in Milestone|--- |RC 1 Version|final |Beta 8 I think this is unfortunate use of bugzilla, because: The problem does exist in 9.2 (After the change the bug report would not be found for 9.2 any more, possibly leaving the impression that it hadn't been reported) I'd prefer to add a comment, saying "fixed in 10.1, no updates for older versions (SLES excepted, maybe)". Is this the way bugzilla is to be used? Regards, Ulrich

A bug number would have helped to evaluate it. Ciao, Marcus

Its a minor bug, which we do not fix for older retail products. I thought this policy was clear :) Also problematic the dependencies change, which older products cannot handle via YOU. Ciao, Marcus

I think the main issue of Ulrich's mail was not whether the bug should be fixed or not but that when someone moves the product from the SUSE version to the version when the bug was fixed other people that see the same issue with the _old_ version where it didn't work can't find it any longer. On the other hand side when you don't change the product you cannot set the "fixed in" tag correctly. Finally the issue can be concluded by stating that the problem results from the fact that Novell bugzilla uses Product to actually specify a version. There is no need now to explain why this actually makes sense here because we most likely all know this reason. To fix this issue a schema redesign for bugzilla would be required but due to the fact that this is a minor issue we most likely can just live with it.
