+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> That's already agreed upon, whatever it's called, RPM Package or

+</I>
+ok
+
+&gt;&gt;<i> First I think it would be usefull to have a multiline (Large Text Box)
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 'RPM Packages' field, instead of a single line (Free Text) field as
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> used by mandriva.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> A single bug can concern more than one rpm. One thing mageia-app-db
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> will do is search all bugs affecting an rpm. For that search to be
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> meaningfull all affected rpms should be mentioned.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> 'One bug per report' is what we should do (did); if a bug originates
+</I>&gt;<i> from more than one package, a separate report for each of them should
+</I>&gt;<i> be opened with the Block/Dependency set correctly.
+</I>
+Sorry for not beeing clear.
+What I propose is not for the case 'a bug originates from more than
+one package';
+but for the case 'a bug manifests itself in than one package'.
+(In fact I think I want to solve the same problem you want to solve with
+&quot;with a whiteboard field to state if the bug affects more than one release (at
+least for now)&quot;
+but in a more specific manner).
+
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> For the same reason, the way the rpms are mentioned should be
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 'standardised',
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> as the search done by bugzilla can only be litteral.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Usually one doesn't only search in the RPM Package field; experience
+</I>&gt;<i> tell us that the affected package name will be mentioned many times in
+</I>&gt;<i> both the summary and the description.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> And if you want to search in the RPM Package field, bugzilla has many
+</I>&gt;<i> options to do so, look at the bottom of:
+</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="https://qa.mandriva.com/query.cgi?format=advanced">https://qa.mandriva.com/query.cgi?format=advanced</A>
+</I>
+Yes; but I am trying to solve the connection with mageia-app-db.
+With the xmlrpc interface it seems the search possibilities are more limited :
+(from <A HREF="http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.6/en/html/api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html">http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.6/en/html/api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html</A>)

+&quot;
+search
+
+ UNSTABLE
+
+ Description
+
+ Allows you to search for bugs based on particular criteria.
+ Params
+
+ Unless otherwise specified in the description of a parameter,
+bugs are returned if they match exactly the criteria you specify in
+these parameters. That is, we don't match against substrings--if a bug
+is in the &quot;Widgets&quot; product and you ask for bugs in the &quot;Widg&quot;
+product, you won't get anything.
+
+ Criteria are joined in a logical AND. That is, you will be
+returned bugs that match all of the criteria, not bugs that match any
+of the criteria.
+
+ Each parameter can be either the type it says, or an array of
+the types it says. If you pass an array, it means &quot;Give me bugs with
+any of these values.&quot; For example, if you wanted bugs that were in
+either the &quot;Foo&quot; or &quot;Bar&quot; products, you'd pass:
+
+ product =&gt; ['Foo', 'Bar']
+&quot;
+
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Something that does not exist in mandriva, but I think would be usefull,
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> is a
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 'Fixed RPM Packages' that would be filled when the bug is fixed. FIXED
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> is great, but where (or since which rpm)?
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> IMHO, that's trivia; either the user is savvy enough / has the time to
+</I>&gt;<i> trudge through the bug report to find out which package release fixes
+</I>&gt;<i> an issue (which indicates he's the curious type, he'll at least skim
+</I>&gt;<i> through the bug report anyway), or he's just going to update his
+</I>&gt;<i> system and get the fix (the latter happens more often).
+</I>
+Here the 'user' is mageia-app-db.
+
+
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Perhaps also an 'Upstream' field which would, eventually, indicate
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> where that bug is filed upstream.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> That's similar to the URL field in my proposal (see my previous post
+</I>&gt;<i> in this thread).
+</I>
+Ok.
+
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Finally the &quot;status whiteboard&quot; could be enabled, and used to clearly
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> explain a workaround, for open bugs (instead of having to figure it
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> from the comments). (Eventually this field could also be used as the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 'Fixed RPM Packages' field when the bug is closed. So it would be the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 'Solution' field)
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I don't think this will be adequately useful; if the issue is fixed,
+</I>&gt;<i> then all the user has to do is update his system. If it's not fixed
+</I>&gt;<i> and affects a stable release then it should get added to the Errata
+</I>&gt;<i> page for that release whether there's a workaround (or not); if it
+</I>
+Still another place to look at. If it concerns the bug it would be
+better to have it visible in the bug.
+
+&gt;<i> affects Cauldron, well, Cauldron users are supposed to be
+</I>&gt;<i> fireproof-ready, so they do read bug reports (or skim through them).
+</I>
+How is the case represented where the bug is in release,
+and the fix is in cauldron ?
+
+
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Apart from the &quot;status whiteboard&quot; which is a parameter to enable
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> (<A HREF="http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/parameters.html">http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/parameters.html</A>);
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> the fields must be added as custom-fields
