Anyway, the whole bug reporting is completely disenchanting. The system is far too inefficient, too distributed (across all the different distros) and when it's not monitored aggressively it spirals out of control.
It is, as it is. When everything will be put under control it will be the same as with Microsoft, or any other place with central control.
That communication should be more efficient, is fact, but how would you connect thousands of nodes to make sure that if openSUSE, or Ubuntu, or anyone else has bug in its bugzilla, that will be forwarded to project bug tracking system? The open source environment is huge, much bigger than any existing company, with many disparate bug tracking systems in place. How to connect them?
What you do not see is also that we report bugs upstream, or we work upstream and fix the bugs there. So in the end it is unified again.
I don't even bother filing bug reports to software these days, unless it's project that takes it seriously and doesn't have a billion confirmed and known bugs.
If we do not know about the bugs, we cannot fix them. That the speed depends on the assignee occasionaly, yeah, thats a bit sad. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
