Dear Ubuntu Kernel Team / Ubuntu Bug Control: Regarding https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection , I and other linux package original reporters (ex. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1029790 ) have encountered problems when following the directions for this article.
For example, what happens is when one executes the following at a terminal: git bisect start Ubuntu-3.2.0-14.23 Ubuntu-3.2.0-15.24 the debian and debian.master folders get deleted by this command. However, the next step in the article https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection#Give_this_test_a_version_number mentions that one would want to edit debian.master/changelog. This inconsistency is not discussed in the article, confuses and frustrates first time bisectors, prevents them from performing their own bisect, and requires them to seek support via https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam#Communications . Unfortunately, I am not well versed in git bisect to understand why this is happening, should this be happening, and how to create a better article to prevent first time bisectors from getting stuck on this problem in the future. How do you think the article could be improved given this problem? Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter and I look forward to your response. -- Christopher M.
