Hi all,
I am using Ubuntu 7.04 (please don't laugh) and at times I do
report bugs. Sometimes I see that the bug-report is concerning upstream
(some issue, usability bug or feature-list wish). Unlike
bugs.launchpad.netwhich ubuntu has, the only way I came to know is one
can report bugs to
debian through an application called reportbug. After installing reportbug,
making my bug-report came to know further that it needs an MTA. Digging
further came to know that there are only 2 , postfix & sendmail. As I am
reading my mail on the web (Gmail) hence didn't no need to have an e-mail
client (or MUA) hence became non-plussed. I am sure I am neither the 1st one
to have this problem nor the last one. Hence instead of just posting for the
howto of this in the mailing list, also have published it in
ubuntuforums.org
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2463091#post2463091 . The main
reason behind doing all this is there are not enough bug triagers around.
Something like 30 for all the bugs which come around. So there is a
possibility that such bugs do not get reported. Hence if we have a direct
route to u guys it would make things that much more easier for all around.
So post the answer at the forum itself so people can use it. There is also
possibility of adding the whole thing to a wiki so people can use it to make
bug-reports to debian as & when needed. Less stress for everybody concerned.
Cheers.
