Bugzilla – Bug 1094790
Please add "openSUSE 15.0" and "openSUSE 15.1" as a possible OS (not Milestone) at bugzilla.openSUSE.org

Now that openSUSE 15.0 Final has been officially released (Friday 25, at noon UTC), it should be mentioned in the "OS" rolldown at bugzilla.openSUSE.org. In the meantime, the entry best fit for it is "SUSE Other" which doesn't quite fit the bill. While we're at it, we might want to remember that openSUSE 15.1 can be expected to enter the beta phase in Q1 2019, and that it ought to be possible to flag its bugs by then rather than wait for after the final release.
There is openSUSE Distribution target, where you then just select the version to be leap 15.0,now predefined.

In bugs for Product "openSUSE Distribution" I see "openSUSE 15.0" listed as a choice in the "Target Milestone" rolldown, which I interpret as meaning "this bug has been fixed, or will hopefully be fixed, in that version". I don't see it in the "OS" rolldows, which according to my understanding means "this bug has been seen on this operating system" and where all SUSE and openSUSE versions from SUSE 6.3 to openSUSE 42.3, plus openSUSE Factory, are listed. Has there been a recent change in policy, saying that it isn't acceptable anymore to declare bugs as happening on the openSUSE 15.0 operating system?
My question in comment #2 has not been answered one way or the other, and now it applies to Leap 15.1 too.
Created attachment 827195 [details] Product and Version Please see this screenshot, first you set `Product` to `openSUSE Distribution`, and I think you need to click `Save Changes`, because Bugzilla need this to start processing, and it should ask you to select from `Version` dropdown menu. That's the intended way to set a bug for Leap 15.0 or 15.1, instead of set `Hardware` or `Target Milestone`.
I think one thing that make people confused is that you need to click `Save Changes` and then Bugzilla will show some selectors that people want. Mark as Resolved, still any questions please comment. Thanks!
So it is as I said in comment #2: it is possible to say that the problem is with version 15.1 of the "openSUSE Distribution" Product, but not that it was found while running the "openSUSE 15.1" Operating System -- the latest openSUSE OS that can be set (other than "SUSE Other") is "openSUSE 42.3".
I meant «other than "SUSE Other" or "SUSE Factory"».
Hi, I mean you can just set Product to `openSUSE Distribution` and click `Save Changes`, you will got a middle page that ask you to choose Version and Component, as far as I know devs use this version, not the one from OS selector. I suggest you to try with this bug and see if this solved you problem.

What _I_ mean is that these two rolldown widgets have different purposes. I do use the one you mention, as an answer to the question "Which version of the software has a problem?". The other one ("OS") answers a different question: "On what OS were you running that software?" Among the possible OSes, I see various NetWare, Novell, but also Windows operating systems; among SUSE and openSUSE OSes, I see "openSUSE Factory" but not "openSUSE Tumbleweed", I see openSUSE versions up to and including 42.3 but not further, and I see "SUSE Other" which I suppose is a catch-all for any SUSE or openSUSE OS not included in the list. Since "openSUSE 15.1" and "openSUSE Leap 15.1" are not mentioned in that OS list (which, I repeat, includes various Windows OSes, and Factory but not Tumbleweed) I turn that "OS" rolldown widget to "SUSE Other" when I report a bug, because that's what comes closest to the OS I'm actually running. At the same time, I also turn the Version widget to Leap 15.1. See fot instance bug 1160487 as a recent bug I reported.
Understood, reopened.
(In reply to Alynx Zhou from comment #10) > Understood, reopened. Thanks. In the case of software distributed as part of the (open)SUSE Linux distributions, I also think that these two settings are redundant, with the OS the least important one of the two; but how do I know that no single developer looks at it? As a user, I try to describe the symptoms I see as precisely as I can, and if I give too much information, that isn't much of a problem, but if I give too little information, or if I carelessly give wrong information because I think that "no one loks at it", and someone does look at it, then _that_ is a problem.
Assign to Lubos to take a look at this bug report, thanks.
AFAICT, "openSUSE Leap 15.1" and "openSUSE Leap 15.2" can now be selected in the "OS" rolldown widget (the unlabeled one next to "Hardware"). I don't see "openSUSE Leap 15.0" there, but that shouldn't be a problem since 15.0 has already reached EOL, so any "dutiful" bug reporters should have gone over to some more recent OS version.
