Description Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-03 02:56:38 UTC
people seem to just ignore the request to put the output of emerge info
in the additional information section below.  Now, for Bugzilla bugs (like
this one) I can see skipping it and maybe even not displaying it.  However
for bugs that aren't enhancement requests and are for the "Gentoo Linux"
component, I think it should be big and red or maybe even required.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. people submit bugs without the output of emerge --info attached.


Actual Results:  
I or some other dev has to ask them to submit the info, further delaying the
fixing of the bug.

Expected Results:  
See the problem right away by looking at the completely unrealistic CFLAGS in
the person's CFLAGS from the emerge --info output.

Ha!  see how I'm not submitting my emerge info output because it's so easy to
ignore the black text above this box?
