In that case we will probably not ask you to file it upstream, as we did do it. In other cases it might be better for the user to file the upstream bug ... and we will usually ask for you to do so. If you are sure the issue exists in both RHEL and CentOS, then there is certainly no problem for you to file in both places. If you do file in both places (on your own or asked by us), then please also add links to the bug in the entries in both places to each other so that users can find fixes from both groups easily -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
