This is a quick heads up about a w3m bug that was reported many years ago and has not seen any responses. As w3m is installed by default and the bug has easy steps to reproduce the problem I'm making a last ditch effort to raise the bugs visibility:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/w3m/+bug/123876 A brief question - is this the sort of thing that people _don't_ want to hear about? Whenever I am drowned in "Is this still a problem?" emails (and bear in mind it takes ages to type up these reports in the suggested style precisely so OTHERS can reproduce the problem) it occurs to me that perhaps I've misunderstood the purpose of the Ubuntu bug tracker (it seems to most punish those people who spend the most time on bugs). The most vivid example was this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rrootage/+bug/261189 (there was even a patch and an explanation). As the years go by I am finally realising that I am no longer willing to spend considerable effort only to see it wasted. I think it would help immensely if bug standards were lowered so that when nothing happens the contributor does not feel like anything of significance has been given (in terms of time/effort). Alternatively it should be made clear that Ubuntu is only capable of repackaging upstream and that if you aren't reporting bugs upstream then all you are doing is entering a "is it still there?" cycle until the issue is fixed upstream or you run out of time. -- Sitsofe -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
