We have bugzilla, as Christian said. The problem is only proper selection of options when you file (upload) an improvement patch, and later when you are looking for it.
Actually bugzilla is pretty bad and confused, and it became worse with the new version. Searching on bugzilla is not exactly a friendly experience.
I know that bugzilla is not friendly, its a user interface is somewhat old, created for geeks that adjust fine on almost anything that you throw on them. Basic problem is how to access information, and that is exactly the same with any information system/medium. I spent time thinking how to use wiki, categories, special pages, and what not. The only conclusion is that it is linear, unstructured space that anyone can shape the way he wants. You can make article index, or use category as an index. Each has good sides, bad sides, and workarounds.
I think one of the point Michael was proposing is to have a separate tracker for opensuse patches only, so that they are all in the same place without any need to be mixed with bugs. I am not sure, but something similar might be already in use internally at SUSE (swampid stuff? can anyone clarify?).
It's to me unclear just what should go in that tracker. YaST, zypper, some scripts, what else is openSUSE specific? Maybe sample configurations (templates) that are applicable only for openSUSE? Applications should live upstream, and, unless there is a decision to branch development, like OpenOffice vs. Go Office, having openSUSE specific patches will not help maintenance. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
