[ANN] Changes to oVirt Bugzilla Process.
by Yaniv Dary 06 Nov '16

06 Nov '16

Hi, In order to make the process lighter and reduce bureaucracy we will be making the following changes this Sunday (06/11/16): - *Acks will no longer be needed on bugs, only on RFEs* - This means the rules engine will not add them and you are not required to get them for bugs. RFEs will still get acks by rules engine and are required for every feature. - *Flags be set automatically according to milestone - *This means you will no longer need to add flags. The rules engine will do this for you according to milestone. You will still be able to add flags to mark a bug to be tested on two branches. - *The version flag will not differentiate between major version and z stream - *This change will only apply to 4.1+ flags. For example ovirt-4.1.0 and ovirt-4.1.z will be merged to ovirt-4.1 flag. Thanks, Yaniv Dary Technical Product Manager Red Hat Israel Ltd. 34 Jerusalem Road Building A, 4th floor Ra'anana, Israel 4350109 Tel : +972 (9) 7692306 8272306 Email: ydary(a)redhat.com IRC : ydary
