Bug 136581 – Make Keywords and Status Whiteboard available to normal users

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Infrastructure

[Description Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2006-06-12 14:03:35 UTC]

Hi,

I think it makes sense to make those available to normal users. We will be using them for different overlays like follows:

          Keywords|                            |InOverlay
 Status Whiteboard|                            |[webapp-overlay]

This way it is possible to see in which overlay the ebuild can be found. At the moment users have to ask a developer for bugs they did not file to get it added. Please change that to allow us working with overlays more efficiently. I would like to have this in general so that we do not have the additional hassle of going through infra for everyone.
I do not think that people will abuse those but others might think differently.

Please don't. See also bug 131439.

Shrug... Every time someone attaches an ebuild to ebuild request bug, I need to go to the bug and change REQUEST to EBUILD. Very annoying.

There isn't a setting for opening up status whiteboard/keywords for regular users. Can you attach a screenshot that shows those fields not showing up for a !gentoo.org user?

You tried to change the Keywords field from  to InOverlay, but only the assignee or reporter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user may change that field.

You tried to change the Whiteboard field from  to blah, but only the assignee or reporter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user may change that field.

I hope you'll belive me ;]

See bug #126050 . This had to do with initial commits. However, they show after initial commit, but users cannot change non-owned bugs. Personally, I think that is proper. JM $0.02

no progress here, closing off as we were not able to get it done and probably no one cares now any more
