Um, there are several problems: - Technical issues: what we should support? Email? Gdrive/OneDrive/DropBox/...? That's not simple... - Usability: For sending email you need to know the SMTP server address, port number and your username and password. I guess most people simply do not know that... And for the rest you might need 2FA which makes it quite complicated... - Legal/privacy issues: the logs might contain some private/sensitive data like passwords or registration codes (well, normally those data should not be logged, but if you run with Y2DEBUG on....), uploading that to a 3rd party server might be problematic. > then it would be easy for the user to make later > (after he completed his current actual task) > a meaningful issue report. But maybe we could directly report a bug in our bugzilla and upload the logs directly. We would just need to ask for the bugzilla credentials. Ideally we could add a search functionality before reporting a bug, e.g. if YaST crashes at foo.rb:42 and we find that location in a bug title we could simply tell the user that the bug seems to be already reported, saving us a lot of work with duplicates. But I have just little experience with Bugzilla API, I do not know if that would be actually possible... -- Ladislav Slezák YaST Developer SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. Corso IIa Křižíkova 148/34 18600 Praha 8
