Many times I could not find entries that are in there by searching. But I'm willing to believe heavy users can work it really effectively by learning its quirks. Yesterday I saw this for example: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/query.cgi and that is just a brick wall killer for simple low duty-cycle end-user participation. Redhat have a "simple search" but that either finds a bazillion ancient bugs or "zaroo" (yeah really cute after the hundredth time). But what'd be better is a flat Google-type interface, lose all the comboboxes and just accept product and versioning as "literal strings" if given. | Redhat/Fedora needs to assign some folks to monitor this list for | say 6 to 8 weeks after a release, who can actually deduce whats | wrong Rahul is around a lot, that never used to be. I often see kernel changelogs coming out of complaints on the lists and bugzilla. So I think noting issues publicly does have the desired effect. However there is a kind of threshold at work here I have observed... one can stick a complaint in Bugzilla and it is apparently ignored for weeks. (One can also get great immediate service in there too, but that's not my point). Then a few more people get the same problem and add their voices on the ml and/or bugzilla, maybe someone *@redhat.com gets the problem and then suddenly it is fully on the agenda and being attacked. So the path to getting the full-on attention is not always direct, it does not mean that your apparently ignored complaint did not get noted and maybe help crank up the potential on that neuron to just below firing level. I don't know how else they can really work that except allow the guys responsible for the package with the problem to choose which issues to address based on available info, prevalence of the problem, reproducibility, etc, and also to allow them to just not respond if they have nothing to say. If you really want 100% attack on every random bugzilla entry RH will be having to pay for a lot more tech staff for little or no benefit to them, it ain't going to happen. | Now, does anyone know how I can make an ifconfig of eth0 show an | ipv4 Sorry, I did not install FC4 yet. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFC1L7ajKeDCxMJCTIRAm8FAJ909tQnxGGyKn6vl4NUGUgVTjhqAgCfRq0k h00Rd3DaTIs10/Tiw1RD3AA= =l2ac -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
