Can I get information other people's (Apple) bug reports? - report

Others have said Apple's bug-tracking system only allows you to see bug reports you yourself have filed. (See Can I browse other people's (Apple) bug reports?.)
But I keep seeing comments in various developer forums (such as xcode-users) along the lines of "I'm fairly sure this is a dup of < rdar://problem/7715072>".
How do they know? Does this mean they must have filed that bug report themselves?
And what use are such comments if no one else can see what that bug report says? (I checked, this one is not on OpenRadar http://openradar.appspot.com/.)

In my opinion apple is not sharing the bugs (a) due to security issues and (b) to get the people report bugs even if they are duplicated. In that way the reported bugs with the most reports will jump up in the priority and will eventually be solved faster.
How do they know? Does this mean they must have filed that bug report themselves?
Yes, I think so. If you file a bug which already has been filed before by others, apple will mark your bug being a duplicate and close it with an advice to follow the original bug id.

If the 1st statement is true, and you can't browse someone else's bugs, there are two possibilities:
apple developers can see them
they filled these bugs

Can't find exact api to get all products from ebay to sync with woocomerce

I was planning to build a system where I can sync my product list on ebay to woocommerce and vice-versa.
I have gone through the internet searching this info, but cannot find the same.
I have gone through the API:
https://developer.ebay.com/docs#cat.
But, don't know which is going to work or even I don't know whether I'm searching the right category.
If you know any available plugin or any solution or sample, please refer.
You COULD do it that way, in the same sense that you could build yourself a house if I sent you to a lumber yard.
I think what you're really after is this here. It should do everything you need.
You still can do it using the link you shared, but give yourself a good 6 months at least to get your code written. (Or longer depending on how well you can code.)

Collection is not defined (but rest is OK)

THIS is not a duplicate question!
In my app, I have collections directory (in project root) with files (every file corresponds to one collection). My tempates (in client/templates/...), of course, use collections. Everything perfect with one small exception. One of my collections is undefined but the rest is ok. Every collection is defined in the same directory and in the same directory level. Where is the problem?
EDIT: I tryed inserting collections inside lib. Not works. I tryed deep nesting. Not works.
EDIT: Tell me, why I have 2 downvotes. Downvotes are for good for nothing questions, this question may help in future another Meteor users. So, why are you downvoting this quetion?
Bug has interesting roots. I'm using fedora 21, and in theese times, Chrome has bug which causes complete freeze (1-5 hours). This bug has many Linux distributions. After I restarted chrome after freeze, the error vanished. So, the result is that Chrome has two bugs instead of one :)
EDIT: No. It's premature conclusion. It works only for a while but then it failed again. In Chrome and in Firefox too. I'm really confused.

Is HttpUnit deprecated / inactive / not supported?

When I explored and worked on HttpUnit 3 yrs back I liked it for what it does. Though after 3 yrs of not tracking it, when I suggested a solution based on it to my colleague, he told me it is deprecated? The apache status tells it is active. No where I could find if this is true. I will be shocked if that is true. Went thro the bug list and found no assignees for last 1 year. Should I conclude from this inference that it is deprecated?
The news has not been updated because the website has not been updated, and is no longer current with the changes to sourceforge. I am looking into moving the project to github.
My name is Wolfgang Fahl and I am one of the committers of httpunit.
The project is not dead. Russell and me still commit changes regularly. Progress is slow since there are not too many developers involved. You are kindly invited to participate if you'd like to see any improvements. We have just released 1.7.2 to maven.org a few weeks ago:
http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails|org.httpunit|httpunit|1.7.2|jar

Bugzilla: How to get an rss feed for bug comments?

I can see where to get an rss feed for the BUG LIST, however I would like to get rss updates for modifications to current bugs if possible.
This is quite high up when searching via Google for it, so I'm adding a bit of advertisement here:
As Bugzilla still doesn't support this I wrote a small web service supporting exactly this. You can find its source code here and a running instance here.
What you're asking for is the subject of this enhancement bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256718
but no one seems to be working on it.
My first guess is that the way to do it is to add a template somewhere like template/en/default/bug/show.atom.tmpl with whatever you need. Put it in custom or an extension as needed.
If you're interested in working on it or helping someone with it, visit channel #mozwebtools on irc.mozilla.org.
Not a perfect solution, but with the resolution of bug #255606, Bugzilla now allows listing all bugs, by running a search with no criteria, and you can then get the results of the search in Atom format using the link in the bottom of the list.
From the release notes for 4.2:
Configuration: A new parameter search_allow_no_criteria has been added (default: on) which allows admins to forbid queries with no criteria. This is particularly useful for large installations with several tens of thousands bugs where returning all bugs doesn't make sense and would have a performance impact on the database.

"Selling" trac/buildbot/etc to upper management

My team works mostly w/ Flex-based applications. That being said, there are nearly no conventions at all (even getting them to refactor is a miracle in itself) and the like.
Coming from a .NET + CruiseControl.NET background, I've been aching to getting everyone to use some decent tracking software (we're using a todo list coded in PHP now) and CI; I figured trac+BuildBot would be a nice option.
How would you convince upper management that this is the way to go, as well as some of the rules mentioned in this post? One of my main issues is that everyone codes without thinking (You'd be amazed at the type of "logic" this spawns...)
Thanks
Is there anything you could do now that wouldn't require permission from anyone else? Could you start by just using trac/buildbot/etc for just your own work, then add in others as they are interested?
In my experience you can get quite far by doing w/out asking.
Tell the management that they'll be better able to keep their eye on progress with such a tool.
Are there specific benefits to the route that you're suggesting that you could show them without them having to buy in?
I had an experience with getting my team to accept a maven + cruisecontrol CI setup. Basically I tried to get them to go along with it for a few days and they kept balking because it was unfamiliar. Then I just did it on my own and had all broken builds emailed to the mailing list. That night the project lead made a check in that broke the build (he just forgot a file) and, of course, everybody was emailed with his screw up.
The next day he came over to me and said, "I get it now."
It required no effort from him to get involved and got to see the benefits for free.
