[Cooker] QA Bugzilla questions

[Michal Bukovjan]

Hi,

reading a slew of invalid bug reports for Mandrake Linux 9.0 and so on, I understand that this Bugzilla is for current Cooker only.

1. The question is, why there are product version dating way back? for example, for mozilla package, there is a version 0.9.8 (!). I think this contributes to point 3.

2. The navigation is less than perfect. Could you consider adding a standard footer as seen on bugzilla.mozilla.org or bugzilla.gnome.org? Specifically, I would like to see whether I am logged in, quick links to My bugs, predefined queries, etc.

3. Slowness... Any hints why would that be? I am actively using both bugzilla.mozilla.org or bugzilla.gnome.org, as well as some local installations at companies I worked for, and all of them were reasonably fast. Perhaps https contributes to the problem? Huge number of packages? How about creating a meta system (i.e. GNOME-2, KDE-3, Apache), covering all packages related to that area?

4. qa.mandrakesoft.com, IMHO opinion, looks like Q&A for a stable product, hence the possible confusion and reports for MDK 9.0 bugs. What is Q&A, anyway? "Questions and answers"? "Quality assurance"? Perhaps you could consider moving this to cooker.mandrakesoft.com.

Anyway, thanks for Bugzilla. Way better than mailing-list/archives only problem reporting and follow-up confusion.
