Description Aaron Peterson 2004-03-22 13:13:34 UTC
I saw a post "I hate portage" in the forums, and saw a guru say that part of the reason why there are problems is that bugs don't get listed in bugzilla.

I think a sticky post in the forums, that says: check out bugs.gentoo.org, if you have a bug or suggestion, look for similar bugs, and subscribe, or file a new one.

I'm just a bit worried that there might be some low quality bugs..  (doh, maybe even worse than my own!) but a bit of a note should help filter the posts

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.post sticky bugs.gentoo.org note on forums
2. ...
3. profit

I'm reviewing my bugs, and, basically just want a note from the forums page to the bugs.gentoo.org site.

I |sticky pointer" is a phpbb term that was... bastardized.

I think that this has potential to get real bugs fixed a bit earlier, without a bunch of extra chattering.

I have added a note in the forums guidelines (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-525.html) about searching also the bugzilla and filing bugs. Not sure there is much more we can do other than having it as text when starting a new thread. But that is affected by language pack hell.

I've added links to the guidelines, FAQ forum, search and bugzilla for when you post a new topic.
