[opensuse-project] Burocracy in Bugzilla
Hi, I'm new in this list, I just subscribed here because I didn't like openSUSE's Bugzilla. I was wanting to send a bug report about an issue with Chromium's packaging, but the process to create an account requires a lot of unnecessary data. Job title, company, street adress, city, country, telephone???? Sorry, but I'm not a company, I'm just using openSUSE in my home PC. Why do you/ they want these informations? Thanks for the attention, Ignacio -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Go to build.opensuse.org create an account there, it wants less information. Then login with this account to bugzilla.novell.com Ciao Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
Account created, bug reported.
Thanks.

Thanks for your persistence :-) And just in case you are wondering: the issue is known, and the openSUSE project is working on improving the experience for contributors. One step in that direction is the simplified registration when coming from an opensuse site like the build service. Unfortunately, bugzilla can not really determine at login time if you are an opensuse "customer" or a novell customer and thus asks too many questions. But now that you found a work around, keep on bugreporting! :-)) have fun, Stefan -- Stefan Seyfried "If your lighter runs out of fluid or flint and stops making fire, and you can't be bothered to figure out about lighter fluid or flint, that is not Zippo's fault." -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
