: Anyway, the whole bug reporting is completely disenchanting. The system is far too inefficient, too distributed (across all the different distros) and when it's not monitored aggressively it spirals out of control.
What you do not see is also that we report bugs upstream, or we work upstream and fix the bugs there. So in the end it is unified again.
This is actually a reason to use openSUSE or Fedora community distro, rather than some other choices.
Making that effort more visible in Bugzilla might help, where a Bug has a report in upstream tracker, with some kind of workround in openSUSE release(s).
That's actually the current policy to put a link to the upstream bug tracker (in the URL field, and also in a comment), I believe.
I've seen them in comments in some bugs, but not in others; on occasion I've put in an URL for the kernel bugzilla myself. The problem is, it's not visible enough, and perhaps inconsistently done. Also I guess, if you don't shout about upstream cooperation in openSUSE news, then a lot of folk won't notice. Looking at a whole load of inaction in a certain distro's "Launchpad", was a motivation with settling on openSUSE despite a pretty rocky experience initially with 10.3. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
