Description David Lawrence 2007-11-30 17:12:28 UTC

Description:
Bugzilla needs to separate the release management (flags etc) from the bug tracking.  Need a way to indicate that a bug is in other release streams.  Often a fix in one is a fix in the other too. Remove duplicate work if their could be a master bug where all the bug/defect work takes place rather than the risk of it occuring on more than one bug. Inchoherent. Need a pointer to say "work on this bug, not here, this is just a place holder for release management".

Comment 2 David Lawrence 2010-01-15 17:32:05 UTC

Red Hat Bugzilla is now using version 3.4 of the Bugzilla codebase and
therefore this feature will need to be implemented against the new release.
Updating bug version to 3.2.

Comment 3 David Lawrence 2010-08-25 21:42:23 UTC

Red Hat has now upgraded to Bugzilla 3.6 and this bug will now be reassigned to that version. It would be helpful to the Bugzilla Development Team if this bug is verified to still be an issue with the latest version. If it is no longer an issue, then feel free to close, otherwise please comment that it is still a problem and we will try to address the issue as soon as we can.

Thanks
Bugzilla Development Team

Use a comment.

This bug doesn't list an actual change you want to make, and therefore will be closed.

I'm closing this, if someone has a specific requirement for a work flow they should open their own bug so we can get specifics from them.
