[FR] Add automatic rhbz# bugs on rawhide, but do not close bugs when it hits rawhide

[pemensik]

I find quite annoying feature when specifying rebase bugs into changelog. I want the same commit message into rawhide and latest stable branch. I usually keep latest branch fast-forward merged from rawhide.

I want rawhide build to be added into bug detected. But for all non-stable branches (rawhide, f44 not yet with enabled manual bodhi updates), I do not want the rawhide issue closed.

Or I want some indication in the bug itself, that it affects not only rawhide branch, but also other stable branches. Especially in that cases I do not want rawhide to close the bug. Because then stable branches do not offer me the bug in web bodhi UI. I want rebase bug added into all branches I push that update into.

Good example would be bind9-next rebase: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2394406

Could we use some tag in the bug to make it obvious rawhide is not the only affected branch, but maybe the most recent affected branch? Whiteboard keyword "all" for all stable branches, or listing affected branches instead? Having rawhide in Whiteboard field may mean it is rawhide specific and is ok to be closed after rawhide build automatically.

It is cool when it autocloses, but not when I want it mentioned in other updates also. I have to force the bug number and ignore warning that the bug is closed already.

What I want is basically "Close bugs on stable?" to be off by default. At least for my packages. It is possible to modify it when creating update, but I cannot give default value for rawhide auto-created updates.

To not automatically close the bug in automatic updates a simple solution is to write the bug like rhbz #2413104 (note the whitespace.

[pemensik]

But I said I want that bug added to update. I want bodhi update and fixed-in filled in bug. I want it processed automatically, but not close the bug. I do not want to hide that bug from bodhi, no.

[mattiaverga]

Ah, I see. I think it can be done by using a specific format, like rhbz#123456:noclose, but that will disable closing all bugs referenced in the update. It might be better adding this feature together with a refactor that makes the "close bug" switch selective on a bug basis.

[pemensik]

No please, I want the same commit to be used in rawhide and last stable branch.Without any difference. It would make sense to have bug specified indicate it affects only rawhide branch or also other branches. Also :noclose suffix does not look nice at all. Bodhi could query the bug and close it only if rawhide specific. That might be case for rebuild needed because of other dependencies updated in rawhide. I am not sure if either keyword or whiteboard or something else should indicate it.

But a lot of my components can be updated to later versions even in stable versions.
