Description Prof. Jonathan King 2005-05-06 08:39:39 UTC
Could page

http://bugs.gentoo.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided

be modified to say explicitly where reports on man-pages should go?

Also, for the beginner who looks at others' bug-reports in order
to try to figure out where his should go, e.g:

81917 ... base-system@gentoo.org ... no man page for rc-status

How can he determine which category of `enter_bug.cgi' that
"base-system@gentoo.org" falls into?  Is there another page that
gives a correspondence?

Finally, could `enter_bug.cgi', or some other Bugzilla page, give
an explanation of what italics mean in a bug-line such as

81917 ... base-system@gentoo.org ... no man page for rc-status

Come to think of it, what *do* the italics mean?

Comment 1 Jeffrey Forman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-15 07:06:48 UTC
bug reports on man pages would go in the 'gentoo linux' product since they are part of the system.
Comment 2 Prof. Jonathan King 2005-05-15 07:38:01 UTC
'gentoo linux', ok --I'll use that from now on.  In what
"component" should man-page reports go? --I read the descriptions

http://bugs.gentoo.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Gentoo%20Linux

but none mentions man-pages.

================ 
  Mr. Forman, what do you think of the idea of
mentioning man-pages specifically on one or both of
  http://bugs.gentoo.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided
  http://bugs.gentoo.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Gentoo%20Linux
?  
Also, can you tell me what it means for a a bug-report line,
in a Bug List, to come up in italics?
