Package: reportbug
Version: 3.9
Severity: important
Suppose the user wants to send a short bug report, without config
files. 'man reportbug' says:
% man reportbug | grep -n -C 2 -e "include them"
75- -c, --no-config-files
76- Omit configuration files from the bug report without asking.
By
77: default, you are asked if you want to include them; in
some
78- cases, doing so may cause sensitive information to be sent
via
79- email.
...but that option doesn't seem to work on my system, at least not for the
'xserver-xfree86' package:
# send a one line report to a dummy file, "/tmp/dummyXreport.txt".
% echo "Que sera sera..." > /tmp/body.txt ; echo n | reportbug
--no-config-files --no-check-available --severity=minor --subject="test of X
bugs" --body-file=/tmp/body.txt --no-query-bts --no-query-source --tag=none
--output=/tmp/dummyXreport.txt --quiet xserver-xfree86
{ lotsa cruft...}
% wc -l /tmp/dummyXreport.txt
738 /tmp/dummyXreport.txt
...738 lines, too much. I discovered this bug when trying to report a
one word man page typo in that package. Config files are needless in a
man page typo report.
It did not seem right to report a one word typo, followed by 738 lines
of cruft, so I didn't send the report -- if I were the maintainer I'd
be irked by a reporter with a 1/738 signal to noise ratio. There
might be several such typos in that package, hence several such reports,
all with the same needless config files.
Because of that, I tagged this 'important' even though it might
seem, at first glance, 'minor'.
Hope this helps...
