Hi Tomas, I think this is really bad step. It force SUSE developers to have separate changelogs for SLE and openSUSE projects. Consider current work-flow: 1) we get bug report from paying customer who attach confidential data or want to keep problem private as it can indicate his bussiness plans. 2) we found bug and fix it 3) update for SLE is released. Some customers checks BNC in changelog to ensure that their problem is really fixed. 4) current way if we found that problem affect also opensuse, then we fix it there and use same changelog entry, so we can see if problem is fixed also in opensuse. If your proposal start acting then we cannot use same changelog entry and it makes really hard to check if we port fix to openSUSE. Opening separate bug report just for opensuse seems like adding another obstacle for developers. I see what you want to fix, but this way it is really bad way and probably end up in deleting all BNCs in changelog for factory (so instead of list of bugs we fix it ends up with line like "port fixes from SLE"). Better solution even if it is not so easy to force is to ensure that changelog entry is good enough even without BNC that is not accessible.

Hello guys,
Just informational mail that we plan to enable bnc# checking in the changelogs to ensure that Factory submissions are in fact only listing visible bugs. [1] [2]
The code is set-up the way it checks the changelog and reports back with all occurances of bugs that were not visible (it ignores the bnc if bugzilla does not respond, so no worries if it is down, everything is approved :P).
Your actions if cases like this happen are quite simple: 1) make the initial bug visible and mark the internal comments as internal. 2) if not sure ask somebody who knows more to do it for you.
As I wrote there in the code [2] it checks the full new changelog in case some bnc should not be there we don't get conflicts when comparing just diff. So you might get request to make really old bugs visible. It is a tiny annoyance but then we ensure that all informations about our fixes can be really read by anybody.
Cheers
Tom
