Several times, a Fedora bug on which I am CCed has been cloned to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (e.g., bug 577927). This operation copies the entire CC list. However, I am not a RHEL user and am not interested in seeing work to port a fix to RHEL. It also seems weird to give me the privilege of viewing a private RHEL bug just because I happened to CC myself on the Fedora bug before it was cloned. I propose that the CC list should be filtered somehow when cloning bugs to RHEL. One option would be to keep only Red Hat employees since they are the people most likely to help with RHEL.
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
I don't think I can test this myself. The next time a suitable bug is cloned to RHEL, I will report on the outcome.
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.
OTOH, some (non Red Hat staff) will be interested in seeing the bug fixed in a version of RHEL. I suggest the best thing to do is to unsubscribe yourself from the cloned bug. It doesn't happen that often. -- simon
