Description Horst H. von Brand 2011-03-28 02:13:56 UTC
Description of problem:
I got a report (on bug 60779) that a update had been released, I should check it and give feedback (karma). OK, I did go over to the suggested page, and tried to log in (which failed, sort of... it didn't accept my login, but I turned out to be logged in anyway in the end). As I wasn't logged in, I reported (under my email) that the bug was fixed, tried to find out how to give "karma", and couldn't. Then I was suddenly logged in, so I reported the success again, and that did give karma.

To summarize: Bugzilla (or bodhi?) suggests giving karma, but doesn't explain that you have to have a Fedora account to do so (I suppose?). The https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/... page doesn't say anything about the matter either. Shouldn't a "works for me now" by the (one of the?) reporter(s) somehow add karma regardless of their status as account holder?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

CCing bodhi and QA team members.

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2011-03-28 19:42:50 UTC
yeah, I've mentioned before to Luke that the workflow isn't very good here. I think it's on the Bodhi 2.0 plan along with unicorns and hot dogs for everyone.

Comment 3 Horst H. von Brand 2011-03-28 20:47:41 UTC
May I have a pony too? ;-)

[Thanks!]

Comment 4 Steve Tyler 2011-05-12 15:24:55 UTC
Another problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way for reporters to change their ratings. I had a developer adjust karma, because he concluded the bug I reported was not against his project.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 13:47:06 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 16:37:26 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2015-01-09 17:08:29 UTC
believe it or not, we're still working on Bodhi 2.0. On the day it arrives Santa will deliver it to all, along with free ponies.

Comment 8 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 15:16:48 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 9 Luke Macken 2015-11-30 18:29:28 UTC
Bodhi2 is here and has a variety of karma improvements.
If you have any specific feature requests related to giving karma, please file them individually in bugzilla or on github, thanks. https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/issues/new
