-- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers I suppose we need to nail down the exact list of fields that should be allowed editable by a logged in user. Normally the only thing a non-privileged user can do is add a comment or add themselves to the cc list. For this we would need to expand that a bit and at a minimum allow changing of status and version. Will just those two fields be sufficient for this request? Dave Speaking just as an end-user uninformed about bugzilla internals, that power (allow changing of status and version) sounds essential to the goal of making it possible for users to follow the directions given on all EOL bugs: "If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version." phil: yes, that's one angle we're coming at this from. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers (In reply to comment #2) > For this we would need to expand that a bit and at a minimum allow changing of > status and version. > > Will just those two fields be sufficient for this request? So am i right that status and version will be enough to allow for Fedora? Dave ping The original reporter didn't get a response for 3 months and may have given up. As the second requester perhaps my opinion may be helpful: Yes, bugs closed (at least those closed by bugzapper due to old version, and maybe other closed bugs) both status and version should be mutable so that someone could bump it up to a current version if it remains relevant. A related change could be to adjust whether bug-reporter previously reported bug search will look to match to closed bugs. At least bugs recently closed should be available for matching. (In reply to comment #7) > The original reporter didn't get a response for 3 months and may have given up. I haven't given up by any means. I assumed David wanted an answer from Adam because he is the one with the authority to move the request forward. From my POV, the status and version fields are enough. > A related change could be to adjust whether bug-reporter previously reported > bug search will look to match to closed bugs. At least bugs recently closed > should be available for matching. When I search for previous bugs, I do not filter by status. In theory I shouldn't see a bug that is marked fixed in the Fedora version I am using, but such a bug may still contain valuable information. And then there are WONTFIX/NOTABUG bugs and zapped bugs (currently hard to distinguish from true WONTFIX, see bug 528319), for which there is no affirmative reason to believe the phenomenon doesn't still occur. The change proposed here would help keep reproducible bugs unzapped, but it wouldn't change my search behavior. Hi, Bugzapper is about to close many bugs that are still current but whose original reporter does not advance their version. Have any changes been made or Should we make new and duplicate bug reports for all these bugs? For example, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=587131 "It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'." even though it's actively generating crash reports for F14. As part of the recent Bugzilla 4.2 upgrade the Bugzilla team are cleaning up bugs opened against old versions of Bugzilla. This bug has been flagged as an old bug and will be CLOSED WONTFIX in 7 days time. If you believe this bug is an issue in the latest Bugzilla version please comment on this bug within 7 days. Doing so will ensure this bug is not closed automatically. Thanks, the Bugzilla team. As part of the recent Bugzilla 2.4 upgrade the Bugzilla team are cleaning up bugs opened against old versions of Bugzilla. This bug has been flagged as an old bug and will be CLOSED WONTFIX in 7 days time. If you believe this bug is an issue in the latest Bugzilla version please comment on this bug within 7 days. Doing so will ensure this bug is not closed automatically. Thanks, the Bugzilla team. (In reply to comment #0) > bump the version and reopen it, but the bug tracker won't let me. I am left > with two options, neither of them good: Or 3. Use the 'Clone this bug' link that appears at the top or bottom of a bug page to clone it with the new version number. |
