<p>You may nominate blocker bugs using the <a href="mailto:libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org" class="external text" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">libreoffice</a> mailing list. Please use the subject:
</p>
<pre>Nominating bug xxxx as blocker for LibO-X.Y.Z release<br></pre>
<p>You should also add a dependency to the meta bug:
</p>
<ul><li>LibO-3.3 - bug <a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31865" class="external text" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">#31865</a>
</li></ul>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>A potential problem of the twice nominating is reporter may forget to do another process <br>
after finishing one step. e.g. what if he/she only sends a mail and forget comment on Bugzilla? <br>Then more documentation effort will be needed to keep 2 sets of information 'sync'.<br>
<br>A uniform reporting path might make it more manageable. Can we just add libreoffice <br>mailing list to a CC list of the meta bug or something like that. Since the release version<br>is included in the Meta bug title, we would not be likely missing new blocker information <br>in the mailing list. For the detailed bug list, we just need to check the dependency fields <br>by clicking meta bug URL inside the mail.<br><br>Best wishes,<br>Yifan<br></body></html>
