Outdated translations

We should consider keeping only English version of this document as some other translations are a lot behind.

Bad URL

The link to the openSUSE 13.2 RC 1 bugzilla is invalid. It reads "https://bugzilla.novell.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=openSUSE Distribution&format=guided" with a space between openSUSE and Distribution". I could not figure out what the correct URL is. Bummer.


This page goes not explain how to submit a bug against a package not found in any of the released opensuse products.

Given Project Name, Package name, what would be the correct bugzilla category? Currently our best bet appears to be openSUSE.org or openSUSE_Factory

I would not want to use Factory, as it is only an alias for the next released product.

I would not want to use openSUSE.org as this appears to be about infrastructure, not contents. --Jnweiger 00:10, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

inconsistent bugzilla instructions

build.opensuse.org suggests to use the bugzilla category openSUSE.org for packages in the build service. This article reserves openSUSE.org for infrastructure issues. --Jnweiger 20:55, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Verified but also resolved?

Most of the Verified bugs are also Resolved (see https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/buglist.cgi?action=wrap&bug_status=VERIFIED&classification=openSUSE&product=openSUSE%20Distribution).

Does "Verified" mean "Resolved and the fix is confirmed"? But the vast majority of resolved bugs are not verified.

As of now, the bug report guidelines (last edit 2015) say TDB on Verified. Jcrben (talk) 20:47, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
