Attention OpenSolaris developers & interested parties: You've probably already noticed a different format to external emails coming from Sun's internal bugtracking system, bugster. This month saw a lot of changes to the default email notifications, both internally and externally.
The most obvious thing you'll notice right away is that emails sent externally now seem to be from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" instead of from the users who just made the change. This change was done in order to comply with privacy and confidentiality concerns. [1] Starting Wednesday, Oct 31, you'll start seeing much more informative emails for any CRs that are updated in the "solaris" product. [2] The new emails will include: Synopsis Generic Hardware Values (like sparc, x86, etc) Keywords Type, Subtype Status, substatus Priority Introduced in Release/Build Description Work around Targeted Release Duplicate of... Hook Fields and much more. All mails sent internally, containing the full CR report, will now have a "Sun Confidential: Internal Only." label and should not be forwarded outside of the company. If you have questions about this, please don't hesitate to ask, just please keep in mind that I am just a Solaris developer that interacts directly with the defect management team. I am not a bugster developer and I have nothing to do with b.o.o. :-) Valerie Fenwick http://blogs.sun.com/bubbva [1] Please don't shoot the messenger! People are still trying to come up with a better solution. [2] "product" here means the bugster product "solaris". Not all Solaris (or OpenSolaris) bugs are tracked in that product, so not all bugs you see will have this new format. If it's worthwhile to you, let us know & we'll try to get the other "product" owners to join the pilot. _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list [email protected]
