Yes, we want to link from software.o.o to the project in build.o.o, where a bugzilla link exists.
That "link" you talk about is virtually useless.
Do you really think any _user_ goes there (after creating an account in the buildservice) to find the package that the bug concerns, goes then to bugzilla (after creating an account), and enters the report?
But maybe someone can give numbers which prove the existance of such bug reports? I certainly don't want to be ignorant here.
There are some bugreports in bugzilla already: product "opensuse.org" / component "3rd party software". Given that the bugreporting link is quite new and probably many projects still didn't set a bug owner, I'd name it a good start. However, you are right that reporting a bug against a package in the build service is too difficult - you have to login to (build.)opensuse.org to find the bugowner / bugzilla link and then again to (bugzilla.)novell.com to enter the bugreport. Long time ago, when the bugreporting link was discussed, I proposed to use a little script on bugzilla.novell.com that basically enforces the login and then redirects from ...?user=username to enter_bug.cgi?assigned_to=mail@example.com&...[correct component etc.] This method would only need one login (at bugzilla) while still being spam-proof since it only contains the username, not the mail address. The link could be published everywhere (software.o.o, Packager: tag etc.) as a direct bugreporting link. For reasons I don't know the current, IMHO awkward, solution which needs two logins was chosen instead. [That's not meant as an offence, I just mention it as a fact.] But maybe there's still hope that the one-click-bugreport ;-) will be implemented someday ;-)
Am I missing the point? Maybe the link is only meant for the owner of the package himself, to make a note for himself? ;-)
