Sometimes, as the reported, you miss some important things. Okay. Then the wrangler (or whom else works onthr bug) simply should ask for more information. But if your bugs are always marked as invalid, you loose any motiviation for further contributions. Bug reports are also contribution. > Mounting your config files for firefox from a coda file > system is far from standard in anyone's books. Maybe. And maybe I'm almost alone with using Coda on Gentoo, since the ebuilds are still very, very old. But did anyone ask why I'm using symlinks in my ff profile, or why the permission test might failed. Or did anyone tell "hey, be careful about [...], we need it fo [...]" ? No. The whole issue was simply declared invalid. > if the idea of creating a new profile would not work for you, > then recreating your firefox directory, with "physical" copies > of the symlinked files would do the trick as well. Not really. The symlinks are no problem for FF, it works perfectly well. And I *need* them to store temporary stuff locally. It's mozilla-launcher which artificially breaks if it *thinks* something could be wrong. > Imagine if you just sunk three years into a project, and suddenly > someone started attacking you because it didn't work perfectly on > their system. Well, I'm working on lots of OSS projects for many many years. But I never ever felt being attacked by an bug report. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
