Description Simone 2006-11-23 03:53:24 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20061115 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: 

In http://bugs.gentoo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Gentoo%20Linux&format=guided
(this very page) the 'blocker' severity description reads "This bug prevents a
software application from testing and use".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://bugs.gentoo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Gentoo%20Linux&format=guided
2. Expand the "Severity" drop-down menu at the bottom of the page
Actual Results:  
'blocker' severity description is "This bug prevents a software application from
testing and use."

Expected Results:  
It should match the description given in
http://bugs.gentoo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity

This is very different from "Blocks development and/or testing work of Gentoo as
a whole" as reported in "A bug's Life Cycle" and could lead to erroneously
marking the bug as more severe than it actually is.
Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-23 04:12:17 UTC
bugstest is missing blocker severity in the guided format list altogether, and the descriptions don't match the current ones either:

http://bugstest.gentoo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity
http://bugs.gentoo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity

Also, the enhancement description is lacking the 'including ebuild submission' bit

1. fields.html page cleaned up for blocker.
2. guided format severity drop-down made to match fields.html page.
