F15 and F16 need this fixed.  Rawhide is already covered.

Comment 1 Josh Boyer 2012-01-04 15:39:47 UTC
Fixed in Fedora git.

Comment 2 Vincent Danen 2012-01-04 17:49:07 UTC
Hi Josh.  Is there a reason you are cloning these bugs?  The trackers are for "fedora-all", so you should be able to use the same tracking bug for both F15 and F16.  Just curious, as this is the second bug I've spotted where you've done this, so I'm not sure why you're cloning them.  Thanks.

People were getting confused when multiple bodhi updates (one for f15, one for f16) were commenting in the same bug.  I believe there was one case where the tracker bug was closed by bodhi (correctly) for f16, but it was never fixed in f15 and we didn't spot it because the bug was closed already (though I might be misremembering).

The person that suggested we clone them isn't really around anymore, and I don't really care either way, so if we want to stick with one tracker for all of Fedora then I'll stop cloning them.

Comment 4 Vincent Danen 2012-01-04 18:09:11 UTC
I'm fine with either, I just wasn't sure if the process was no longer working for you guys, so wanted to find out if we could do something to improve it.  I can certainly ignore these cloned bugs if they help your process; we typically file one fedora tracker if the flaw affects all versions just to ease the amount of bugs you folks have to deal with, so I wanted to make sure that was still desirable.

If one tracker works for you, I'd suggest not cloning, but if it is easier to handle by cloning, then by all means continue.

Thanks for the explanation!

Comment 5 Dave Jones 2012-01-04 18:40:41 UTC
I think part of the problem we had with missed updates was that F14 was several versions behind F15.  If we can keep the supported releases on the same base version, we should be able to just fix both at the same time and use the master tracker for both.

Though bodhi does get a bit verbose, and will then file two "an update has been submitted" comments, one for each build. Maybe that's desirable though, just for tracking purposes.

Sounds fine with me.  From now on, we'll just use the single tracker bug the Security team opens.  Less work all around.

Thanks Dave and Vincent.

Great, thank both of you (and, for reference, bodhi being verbose is probably a good thing).
