Dear list members,
I have read http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports
on submitting bug reports. And about a year ago I submitted a bug report
on a packaging bug in the ‘neverball’ package (official OSS repository),
using the above guidelines:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699124
This never got a reply, and it looks like the assignee (which was
automatically selected by Bugzilla) is a person that haven’t worked
on openSUSE for *many* years, and probably will never look at the bug
report (since he’s now at Canonical).
Since the official way of reporting bugs in packages (like this one)
doesn’t work, who should I contact, or where should I submit packaging
bug reports so that they get to people that actually are able to do
anything about them? I’d be grateful for any advice.
I assigned it someone else.
You could look through the maintainers in the "games" repository where
neverball lives and mail them.
Or this list.
Or you can fix this yourself via OBs collaboration and do a submitrequest:)
Ciao, Marcus
I've reported a bug that got absolutely zero responses or activity.
Didn't even get triaged yet in 2 months time...
