I think this is very good idea, even more, I think Gentoo should have error |
9 |
reporting tool (let say qreport) which sends information like: |
10 |
|
11 |
- ebuild version |
12 |
- type of bug (compiling, stability, security, etc) |
13 |
- emerge --info |
14 |
- user comments |
15 |
|
16 |
to whatever.gentoo.org, which then aggregates such data by ebuilds, platforms |
17 |
and bug types. People should be encouraged to use this tool whetever possible |
18 |
(for ex. after emerge errors). I think such tool will colect data much faster |
19 |
and reliable than wiki. |
