o You said, "bug was reported on a SuSE mailing list" and not fixed" Comment: Some of SuSE people read the list from time to time, but this is not the formal way to report feed back to SuSE. That is: http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/feedback.cgi
Unfortunately, they no longer have a email address for reporting, and that makes it more difficult for some people, like me, to report. There are methods to filter spam, like the one they use at "support" (it searches for a valid registration code), or a pgp key, that would allow us to submit feedback to feedback easily. And of course, they really should monitor the list; not SuSE employees on their free time, but on their paid time. I'm sure they would get heaps of good feedback from it.
Given the above, what many of us do is keep a file of "problems" and their solutions.
Exactly.
Others contribute to Togan's FAQ. And others have gotten the passwords so they can contribute to SuSE bug tracking list.
I had no idea such a thing existed... :-? :-O Do they keep it secret? I know of some bugs that passed from version to version, and some that were never solved, nor explained -- even if reported through the proper channels. :-/ -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
