Description Dave Malcolm 2012-05-17 18:05:29 UTC
Description of problem:
See e.g. bug 822640

There are various labels and headings in that report that are presumably intended for the consumption of the developer receiving the report, such as "Obecné", "Zařízení", "Výchozí startovací úroveň" etc.

Ideally, this data would be captured in a dedicated database (and thus localized to whoever is viewing them), but if we're going to instead dump it in textual form into bugzilla, these labels should be in en_US, not in the reporter's locale.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libreport version: 2.0.8
abrt_version:   2.0.7
Appears to be Fedora 16.

Comment 1 Denys Vlasenko 2012-09-20 11:39:06 UTC
And when we change it, people will want messages localized again.

I'm happy at least digits on this planet are the same in all languages.

Comment 2 Dave Malcolm 2012-09-20 15:14:35 UTC
Having a dedicated database would be ideal, but in lieu of that, perhaps ABRT could gather its data twice: once in the reporter's locale, the other time in en_US.  The bug report could then contain a copy of both reports, using attachments to avoid making the comments huge (clearly identifying the locale of each attachment in the name).

(obviously if the locales are equal, then only do it once)

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 09:53:51 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'.

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 prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 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 to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

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.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-31 17:33:16 UTC
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
