YOU allows all king of updates, not only security, this is a user choice.
I understand that YOU could do any updates. It is the policy from SUSE to only do updates. The reason has been explained before. <snip>
I have problems now with 10.0, far inside the 2 years limit. and this don't seem to be fixed neither.
Is it a security issue? If so, it should be reported via Bugzilla, if not, it might not be importand enough to be done.
no. We can update Yast (anyway, yast is the only SUSE visible products, all the rest have others maintainers).
YOU can indeed do it. It is the policy of SUSE only to do security updates.
So in general, I think it is a bad idea, sorry.
I think you are discussing methods, not ideas.
The two are inter connected. If you have an idea, you also need the method to do the updates.
Idea is: do you think community users can be part of the debugging that Novell employees can't do? if yes, then the methos will follow.
Bugzilla is great for this. <snip>
It really upset me to see typos in Yast I could correct in 10 seconds with the good interface staying there for age.
Again, SUSE does security updates, not spellingcorrectionupdates.
may I write a wiki page saying "in this page there is a bug, but it wont be fixed"?
Sure, it is a wiki. You could make it yourself easy and just say that only security updates are done and spelling errors are not done.
I would like Novell programmers concentrate to bugs I can't fix (there are enough :-()
So again I ask you, say you have found a spellingserror, how would that get to me, a user, when you know it won't be done by YOU? houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
