I apologize, I'm not able to parse this. I tried to go to that link, but got the "not authorized" message. I'm not sure why the public are not allowed to view bugs, but perhaps I am just ignorant of Suse's way of doing things? Would you or someone here be willing to paste in for me the appropriate info from this bug so that I can read it?
Don't worry, that's just Andrei's way of having a quiet moan about inappropriate permission settings on bug reports. It's not your ignorance, it's some Suse people's incompetence, or possibly mendacity.
As with many fun things in life, its a Legacy software issue. Currently we are still using a bugzilla instance from the Novell era. It has some unfortunate settings that are very hard to change, many that any bug thats listed for SUSE Partners becomes closed. That bugzilla instance has so many patches that its very hard to work on or update. In the mean time there is an ongoing project to replace it with a more maintainable bugzilla instance. Which combined with changes to policy around ALP will hopefully mean that the only tickets that end up private are the ones containing SUSE Customer information.
It's possible there might be somebody here who can read it I suppose :)
Yes I do still read this list on occasion and I have been given permission to share info from confidential bugs as long as it doesn't include customer info. You can also email bugshare@lists.opensuse.org and I should see the request, but i'm only one person so I probably won't respond if people spam the list too heavily. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
