Is there a process for finding status updates to open bugs within Centos? The particular bug I am talking about is 0002329 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2329. This was assigned on 01-20-2008 and, as far as I can tell, there's been no action other than it being acknowledged. I've also searched upstream with RHEL and FC and I cannot seem to find a bug report there though complaints of the problem can be found through searching the web.
I do see the manual fix for it and will be testing that shortly. I am, however, dealing with a fairly rigid internal legal department that may not welcome a "fix" that's not "official". So I have two questions:
- Is there an "official" or "accepted" way to inquire about the status
of an open bug? 2) With regard to bug 0002329 is this something that has to be fixed upstream so it filters down to centos?
Thank you!

The bug page gives you the status. It was assigned (to Karanbir), and he ack'ed it. If it was fixed, it would be resolved. It shouldn't be that hard to apply the fix manually and your legal department is too rigid if they are that picky about a fix to "free" software. I can see if they were paying contract support on it.
If Karanbir thinks it merits an upstream bug report, I'm almost sure he might do that, if the original bug poster doesn't. It "might" be fixed by the time 5.3 comes out, but do you want to wait?
So it is a year old... people get busy... ;-P
It must be of a low enough priority to not get a lot of attention.
