Please file an issue here: https://github.com/openSUSE/software-o-o/issues/new so now we are supposted to report bugs to github rather than bugzilla.opensuse.org? am I confused or are you confused or do we have an unannounced policy change or ....?
Well I was gob smacked when someone suggested posting transient errors in the bug tracker (bugzilla.opensuse.org).
Wait... Are we doing another deal with Microsoft that nobody told me about? For the past 18 years -- bringing a website or mailing list issue to this list has been sufficient, and then Henne or somebody can generally fix it.
Why is that no longer sufficient?
Mainly because 95% or more of openSUSE's developers are not subscribed to this list, so you can raise all the issues you want here but chances are the right people to fix them are not on this list so they won't notice and nothing will happen. The right people do however pay attention to the emails they get from our bugtrackers so this is generally the best way to reach them, our bug tracker has well over 1 Million issues in it, so whats one more, it generally takes a developer 30 seconds to read an issue and close it if its a duplicate or invalid etc. But atleast this way the right people will be looking at the issues. As for github, all of the openSUSE project's (not just the distro parts) source code is available in the openSUSE github project github.com/opensuse this includes the source code for all the websites along with various tools, it also includes all of SUSE's source code for any of there code where they are happy to accept 3rd party contributions. It should be noted that projects like Yast and obs have there own github project, I wasn't involved in the decision to use github but i'm guessing at the time it was the most logical choice partly because most developers already have accounts there. -- 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
