[opensuse-project] *HELP NEEDED* We have a new bugzilla - now what?
by Richard Brown 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

Hello openSUSE, I'm happy to share that openSUSE now has its own bugzilla frontend at http://bugzilla.opensuse.org No more battling through long lists of Novell and SUSE's products to find openSUSE when filing bugs, (assuming you leave the default settings on) this new frontend automatically filters the available products when filing bug to those relevant for openSUSE The details of what changed are best covered in Michael's post on the topic, here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2014-09/msg00057.html I recommend any questions on the changes are sent as replies to that thread. For this mail thread, I have a single request Can some people please step up and update our wiki to reflect these changes? The most important page that needs changing is https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports Any URL reference to bugzilla.novell.com should be replaced with bugzilla.opensuse.org https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bug_reporting_FAQ is another page that needs to be updated to reflect the new changes - NEEDINFO is no longer a bug STATUS, but a flag, so that changes a bunch of stuff in the FAQ. Also, the change that has removed ASSIGNED and replaced it with 'CONFIRMED' and 'IN_PROGRESS' should probably be described There are also a bunch of old and outdated information on those two pages - I'd be quite happy for whoever steps up to be brutal and rip out anything they suspect is invalid or wrong - as long as the core information about the Bug workflow as described in Michaels recent email is there, I think that's a good place to start. Any takers? The wiki is always open for editing, but I figure given this huge change, we probably should get this important information fresh and ready, especially as we're preparing the release of 13.2 Regards, Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] [ANNOUNCE] Bugzilla 4.4.5 Update this weekend
by Michael Schroeder 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Hi openSUSE folks, we're going to update the openSUSE bugzilla from ancient version 3.4.3 to version 4.4.5. We do this mainly for three reasons: - to get new features and better speed - to get better customization support - to get all security holes fixed The update will happen on September 20th, aka this weekend. From a user experience, Bugzilla version 4.4.5 is not very different to 3.4.3, but there are some incompatible changes to watch out for: * NEEDINFO is no longer a state, but a flag. This has the advantage that a bug can have multiple needinfos set. The UI still offers the needinfo checkboxes, so you should not notice this much. * Some states got updated to sync with upstream bugzilla: ASSIGNED has been split into CONFIRMED and IN_PROGRESS. CONFIRMED means that you acknowlede that there is a bug, IN_PROGRESS means that you work on the bug. CLOSED has been merged into VERIFIED. The standard bug life cycle is thus: NEW -> CONFIRMED -> IN_PROGRESS -> RESOLVED -> VERIFIED * Partner IDs are stored as "See Also" URLs. There are shortcuts to add them, e.g. "FATE-2222" maps to the id in fate. There's also "CVE-XXXX" to map to the mitre server for the security inclined. With the update come per-business unit bugzilla styles and product filtering, thus navigating to "bugzilla.opensuse.org" will get you to openSUSE's bugzilla instance in a friendly green look instead of the old wiki page. Note that this is just a different skin for the same novell.com bugzilla, you can even configure it in the bugzilla preferences section. (In case you're wondering, there's also bugzilla.suse.com, bugzilla.netiq.com, and bugzilla.novell.com.) Cheers, Michael. -- Michael Schroeder mls(a)suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF Jeff Hawn, HRB 16746 AG Nuernberg main(_){while(_=~getchar())putchar(~_-1/(~(_|32)/13*2-11)*13);} -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Is this information a closely guarded secret?
by Basil Chupin 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Years ago I was running a Bulletin Board System (BBS) which used software written by a particular (U.S.A.) individual and who was quite openly proud of the international enterprises which had his system installed for communications (for example, SIEMENS was using his software). Occasionally I have the opportunity to try and influence an organisation/individual to switch from you-know-what to Linux - but openSUSE in particular, my argument here being that since I am using openSUSE I can be of more help should assistance be required. At such times it would be MOST helpful if I - or anyone else in the same situation for that matter - could do some "name dropping" and mention that "openSUSE is being used by, for example WWWWWW, XXXXXXX and YYYYYYY! just to mention a few companies". Does the Board know which organisations - local or international - use openSUSE and can this information be made available and be referred to, or is this information not known or not important enough?
