The cookerdrake idea I think would still be usefull as It would provided one central location for collecting the info like requests for testing and changelog stuff It's certainly not "needed" for the developers but for the more casual cooker members it might be of some use. Especially for those who want to do testing but don't want to get 200 emails a day in there hotmail inbox from cooker! > drakbug is for people who don't subscribe to cooker. cookers are > expected to be able to give better diagnostics than drakbug (ie > intelligent bug reports as opposed to automated ones). Exactly your'd want drakbug to be used by those who weren't on the cooker list. Those who aren't on cooker list are generally the ones who produce the worst bug reports! If you added the features I mentioned to drakbug and stuck it on the desktop of the RC's in plain view it would probably cut down on the number of bad bug reports that turn up. And having it grab data on dependencies, Version and hardware would help in alot of bugs. Think back to the isa sound card problem that was in cooker last week it took half a dozen emails before it was found out that the card was an ISA version. > I think a 'build-from-source' tool would be more important to cookers. Yes the build from source would be the one I'd like the most by far!
