[opensuse-project] What's the best way to nudge a bug?
It's a newly reported bug (reported earlier today), but there are implications to threading in the forums for users who upgrade to 13.1 and use NNTP to access the forums. There's a bug in libgmime 2.6.16 through 2.6.18 (2.6.18 is what comes with 13.1) that incorrectly wraps the References: header, causing misthreading of posts on the server. libgmime 2.6.19 is reported to have the fix. I've built this on obs and am testing it now, but the issue was found on the bsd platform several months ago, and it is fixed upstream - so all we need is an official build of 2.6.19 in the update channel. The bug number on bnc (including links to relevant discussion on the pan- users mailing list, the RFC that the build violates, and the bug on the GNOME bug tracker) is 855023: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855023 I realize that I just opened the bug today so it probably just hasn't been reviewed yet, but I wanted to raise awareness since we use NNTP in our forum community, and this has the potential to create confusion in those discussions (indeed, it already has with posts I've made using the broken library).

Best way is to find the maintainer(s) with osc maintainer and then find and poke them directly on an mailinglist or IRC In the case of this package, you need... well darn...me or someone else from the GNOME team ;-) gmime 2.6.19 is already in GNOME:Factory and openSUSE Factory, so no action is needed there we need to just find the best way of fixing it for 13.1 I'm on the case now, consider me poked. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks - different products in bnc handle this differently, so I find it's always best to ask first rather than ruffle any feathers. :) Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Awesome, thanks, Richard. I saw you updated the bug as well. I didn't actually find that version of gmime in oS Factory, and didn't think to look in GNOME:Factory, so I built it myself. I'll keep my eyes open for it in the update channel. Meantime, I did post an announcement in the announcements forum letting the NNTP users there know that they may run into this problem and can pull the necessary updates from my repo - but I'll let them know it's in factory and GNOME:Factory as well.
