Recently I almost got overwhelmed by bugs and other issues in real life ( uni related stuff and some other stuff in some clubs I belong) and other opensource projects
The problem usually isn’t the number of bugs but how they are written.
If you want me not to lose the latest glimpse of sanity please follow those rules:
- Always check if there is a duplicated bug with the EXACT same issue you are experiencing
- Every time you fill a bug PLEASE use the keywords if applies (eg, for a new ebuild put EBUILD)
- Please be specific when you fill the subject, please put the full version of the package that way we can filter it
- Be as much informative as you can, within the limits (eg, sending me your hd image or attach it to bugzilla isn’t nice; attaching your config.log if configure refuses to work or your emerge info and .config if a kernel module doesn’t work is indeed the best practice)
Thanks
