Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
Can we possibly include the concept of "helping to file bug reports" here? |
4 |
|
5 |
For example, I've got an issue (which hasn't annoyed me just quite |
6 |
enough yet to put effort in) where on bootup after xdm init script |
7 |
starts it takes ~2 minutes before slim login is displayed. But I don't |
8 |
know enough of the workings of that to even understand if this is an |
9 |
Xorg or slim (or dbus) bug ... |
10 |
|
11 |
Guessing #gentoo may also be of help in regards to the above, so this is |
12 |
really just a suggestion. Yes, it will generate more bugs, but |
13 |
hopefully the concept will allow for creating targeted bugs rather than |
14 |
overly generic difficult to trouble-shoot bugs. |
15 |
|
16 |
Kind Regards, |
17 |
Jaco |
