Again, just removing information does not help anyone and will have bad impact on the workforce in openSUSE Factory.
Hm, seems you cannot understand this because you _have_ access. From my point of view we wouldn't remove any information if we remove those dead links.
They help you indirectly.
Having them in allows to review whether all patches that were done for SLES are also done for openSUSE. We had a couple of engineers looking especially at this during the last year so that openSUSE does not miss anything important.
Without the bnc numbers it would be really hard to figure out...
I know this because I cannot figure out already now ...
You can. You don't know what the patch is about, but you know patch 3824783 is in both at least.
I think an enhancement to the WebUI or OSC that warns about private bnc references on checkin would be best. Something like source validation, but that emits a warning and lets the commit in.
BTW it would be really nice if OBS packages would be git repos. Packages in different projects would be just different branches of one "imaginary common repo". This would make life a lot easier and you could add the unique revision numbers to the bug reports to check even automatically whether a fix is already _merged_ or not. Having a mapping into both directions between bugs and fixes (git revs) would make it possible (for everybody) to track all kind of additional private infos wherever. Moreover we could even locally fetch branches from the Fedora remotes. Just to compare them or just to have even more references to their bugtracker.
Because I'd bet many of those bugs remain private because SUSE employees don't even notice they're introducing dead links for the rest. If they knew, they'd be able to take care of it.
