Description Alexander Kurakin 2023-04-13 18:06:58 UTC
How should package be mentioned in a bug's description?

We can find the answer at three places:

* as the Guide says, https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Bugzilla/Bug_report_guide,
* as the code thinks: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/sites/soko.git/tree/pkg/portage/bugs/bugs.go?id=115b10e9f9994a71acae84507010dba852f40080#n240,
* as people do: https://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=dev-lang%2Fpython.

As I see, all these three ways are cntroversal and not straightforward. I can argue this in the next comments but would ask...

How should package(s) be mentioned in a bug's description?
Are we interested to formulate and unify it?

Thanks!
