Bug 196164

Comment 1 Marcus von Appen 2014-12-30 07:16:23 UTC

We disallowed to perform some actions on purpose. You should however be able to close your own bugs.

To me, or to all committers?

To non-committers.

Sic transit gloria mundi... I am a committer, Marcus. A mere ports-committer, but a committer nonetheless -- mi@... Had I NOT been one, how could I have been "able to affect any sort of changes using edit-pr"?

Please, do the needful. Thank you!

Comment 5 Kubilay Kocak 2014-12-31 03:34:59 UTC

I'm confused.

- edit-pr is no longer used, along with the rest of gnats.
- edit-pr *was* for use by people with logins to freefall

Can you please clarify:

- What action(s) you should be able to take, but can't
- As what user or group(s) in Bugzilla
- And provide example bugs that reproduce the issue

Thanks Mikhail

Right. And I was using it, because I have a login to freefall -- because I am a committer (mi@).

Your Comment #3 suggests, my current privileges are those of non-committers.

As mi@ALDAN.algebra.com -- the only Bugzilla-account I am aware of -- I can not, for example, assign PRs to others or even take them myself. Nor can I close them.

> - And provide example bugs that reproduce the issue

Bug 195256 is a good example. Bugzilla Automation there states: "Maintainer CC-ed" -- instead of "Assigned to Maintainer". That's, probably, because Bugzilla is unaware, that I am a committer...

If a separate Bugzilla-accounts (mi@FreeBSD.org) exists -- I'm not sure -- could it, please, be merged with mi@ALDAN.algebra.com? Thanks!

It does, please log out from this account, log in with your FreeBSD name and comment here.

I can not -- I have no idea, what that account's (mi@FreeBSD.org) is and when I try to use the "Forgot Password" feature, I'm told that:

"The system is not configured to allow password change requests."

As an alternative, I created a file named PR-196164.txt in my home directory on freefall -- with this comment duplicated inside it. Would that be sufficient proof? You can also browse through ports maintained by mi@aldan.algebra.com -- and check, who usually commits in them :-)

I mailed you the instructions seperately.

There once was a Bugzilla-admin,
Who did not treat users like vermin.
They liked him a lot,
And what problems they got,
Marcus solved -- many thanks this way earning.
