Bugzilla allows you to set granular email notification preferences.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Email preferences
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To set your email preferences,
|
|
|
|
|
go to the https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email[_Email Preferences_ tab]
|
|
|
|
|
of your user preferences.
|
|
|
|
|
You will see a grid
|
|
|
|
|
that allows you to select to receive notifications
|
|
|
|
|
based on the bug activity (rows)
|
|
|
|
|
and your relationship to the bug (columns).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition,
|
|
|
|
|
you can exclude notifications when you are the one making the change
|
|
|
|
|
or when the change is marked as a "minor update".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The _Email preferences_ tab also allows you
|
|
|
|
|
to ignore specific bugs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Watch components
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to get notifications for all bugs in a specific component,
|
|
|
|
|
go to the https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=component_watch[_Watch Components_ tab]
|
|
|
|
|
of your user preferences.
|
|
|
|
|
You can select the components you want to watch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Watching a component will still follow the email preferences you set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If you are a package maintainer,
|
|
|
|
|
you do not need to add notifications
|
|
|
|
|
for the packages you maintain.
|
|
|
|
|
The release engineering automation will add you automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Watch specific bugs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to track a specific but,
|
|
|
|
|
you can add yourself to the _CC_ list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
. On the bug you want to watch,
|
|
|
|
|
click the _Add me to CC list_ box.
|
|
|
|
|
. Check the _This is a minor update (do not send email)_ box.
|
|
|
|
|
(This step is optional,
|
|
|
|
|
but is a polite choice
|
|
|
|
|
to reduce email notifications.
|
|
|
|
|
If you take other actions beyond adding yourself to the CC list,
|
|
|
|
|
use your best judgement.)
|
|
|
|
|
. Click the _Save Changes_ button.
