There''s little point in my continually asking users to add bug links to the AppDB if maintainers and/or administrators don''t bother themselves. It takes longer to create a bug report than it does to link it to the database. It really isn''t that hard. I''ve added hundreds over the past few weeks and this is not the first time I have said it, nor am I the first one to do so. It''s even on the Wiki. http://wiki.winehq.org/Bugs

It really isn't that hard.But adding a link requires going and logging into a separate web site. That's really not the part of the normal flow of entering a bug.> There's little point in my continually asking users to add bug links to the > AppDB if maintainers and/or administrators don't bother themselves.[...]> I've added hundreds over the past few weeks and this is not the first time I > have said it, nor am I the first one to do so. > > It's even on the Wiki. > http://wiki.winehq.org/BugsWho reads instructions on a separate Wiki page when entering bug reports? Just saying your expectations may be set a bit unrealistically high. We have some instructions on Bugzilla's bug submission page (currently 'Please do not PASTE logs and back traces'). It may make sense to add something for the bug links either there or on the page confirming the bug was enered. It would have a much better chance of being read there than on the Wiki. -- Francois Gouget <fgouget at free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ Linux, WinNT, MS-DOS - also known as the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
