Hello Bill
Just to be clear, I'm asking for public access to those bugs,
but I guess someone at Sun needs to authorize this.
It's difficult to know who at Sun makes the decision on this,
and on what basis, if it is private or public.
I do not know who that would be - can you find out?
I have contacted the responsible manager and have asked for this to be made
public. I can't promise anything but the manager at least knows you are
interested in seeing the bugs.
Before posting to this forum, I contacted Peter Dunlap at Sun,
who I believe is the main technical lead for the comstar iscsi target,
to ask him about this, but he could not shed any light on
why the bugs are currently private.
I've looked at all the other Comstar source code elements, with OpenGrok:
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/io/comstar/
..and they all seem to have public access to the bugs
- see sample list below.
So it seems that it is just the bugs for the comstar iscsi target that are
'not available'.
I'm guessing that maybe someone just missed 'ticking a box' to make these
public,
and it is just some oversight.
I wasn't real clear in my last email but it actually works the opposite way
and this category is explicitly set to be hidden. I don't know the exact
reason besides there is probably information in public fields that can't be
published (like customer or partner information).
Hi Bill -
We should figure out why bugs.opensolaris.org has a different publishing policy
other than what is considered "public" in bugster. In general, everything under
product "solaris" will generate public emails - with fields like Public
Comments,
Description, Synopsis, etc. Of course, that does require someone adding an
external
person to the interest list.
There is only one category that is excepted from that for solaris, and it's
not these iscsi bugs.
I am nervous having disjoint policies for essentially the same things in two
different
places.
thoughts?
Valerie
