81462 - Extend Operating System and Hardware default lists

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: Administration, task, P4)

Description

[Marcin Orlowski]

Would the next bugzilla have OperatingSystem and Hardware default lists 
expanded? I'd like to see "PalmOS" and "AmigaOS" in "OS" section and 
and "PalmPilot", "Handspring Vizor", "IBM ThinkPad" and "Amiga" in "Hardware" 
added. Thanks.

PS: I know, I can have it added myself locally.

We are currently trying to wrap up Bugzilla 2.16.  We are now close enough to
release time that anything that wasn't already ranked at P1 isn't going to make
the cut.  Thus this is being retargetted at 2.18.  If you strongly disagree with
this retargetting, please comment, however, be aware that we only have about 2
weeks left to review and test anything at this point, and we intend to devote
this time to the remaining bugs that were designated as release blockers.

Enhancements which don't currently have patches on them which are targetted at
2.18 are being retargetted to 2.20 because we're about to freeze for 2.18. 
Consideration will be taken for moving items back to 2.18 on a case-by-case
basis (but is unlikely for enhancements)

I would like to suggest an interface through bugzilla to add new operating
systemas and hardware platforms. My company works with specific hardware platforms
like interspect from checkpoint which has an OS named secureplatform based on
redhat or for example, Nokia IP Security Platforms which have their own
appliances and a FreeBSD based OS called IPSO. The list continues to
manufacturers like Packeteer, Stonesoft, etc...

A interface to insert new OSs and HW platforms would be the best thing to
include in 2.20.

I take this chance to ask how can I edit manually this lists to remediate the
problem?

Best regards from Portugal,
Pedro Madeira

Bugzilla 2.20 feature set is now frozen as of 15 Sept 2004.  Anything flagged
enhancement that hasn't already landed is being pushed out.  If this bug is
otherwise ready to land, we'll handle it on a case-by-case basis, please set the
blocking2.20 flag to '?' if you think it qualifies.

Reassigning bugs that I'm not actively working on to the default component owner
in order to try to make some sanity out of my personal buglist.  This doesn't
mean the bug isn't being dealt with, just that I'm not the one doing it.  If you
are dealing with this bug, please assign it to yourself.

In Bugzilla CVS (probably earlier) the default operating systems + platforms
have been greatly reduced since this bug was filed. That decision makes this a
wontfix. In Bugzilla 2.20 we have an easy UI to add any OS/Platform back,
allowing Bugzilla installations that need this to add them back.
