Me and Chris Morgan changed it to this because we were sick of people
pasting pages and pages of terminal output into the What works or What
doesn't work boxes of the test data which is NOT where it belongs. The
information in test data should be written in plain English, not pastes
of lots of (mostly useless) terminal output which just looks awful and
isn't any use to most users of the AppDB.
I agree with point 2 but the problem is most AppDB submitters just...
too stupid to be able to use some sense or judgement about what they
are asked to actually put in the test reports.
What you'd rather change it to would make the previous situation much,
much worse so under no circumstances should it be changed to that though.

Hi, since a few weeks the following message is displayed when you try
to submit test results into appdb:
*Please DO NOT include crash or Wine debug output. Instead report the
crash as a bug in the Wine bugzilla at http://bugs.winehq.org
<http://bugs.winehq.org/>. We ask that you use bugzilla because
developers do not monitor the AppDB for bugs.
I'm not that happy with this message for a few reasons:
1. Most testers will not attach this to a bug, either because there
isn't an entry for the app in bugzilla, or they don't bother to do so.
2. There are crashes like these that users attach:
wine app.exe
err:module:import_dll Library MSVBVM60.DLL (which is needed by
L"C:\\app.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for
L"C:\\app.exe" failed, status c0000135
We don't want users to attach these things in bugzilla, we'd rather
point them what to do in the email-field. If users don't attach
crashes anymore to the testresults , i cannot by no means see anymore
if a testresult is valid or not.
I'd rather see something like:
**Please DO include crash or Wine debug output here, and **report the
crash as a bug in the Wine bugzilla at http://bugs.winehq.org
<http://bugs.winehq.org/>**.
Any comments?
