Package: bitlbee Version: 3.5.1-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
I'll start with the Debian-specific problem. * bug 1 (manpage) * The /man bitlbee/ cmd shows: BUGS Of course there are bugs. If you find some, please report them at http://bugs.bitlbee.org/. Perhaps that should also mention the Debian bug tracker as well? * bug 2 (upstream bug tracker broken) * There is also an upstream bug that I was unable to report because the CAPTCHA for http://bugs.bitlbee.org/ is broken. I could clearly read the CAPTCHA but all of my solutions got rejected. It's very frustrating b/c I took the time to write out a report not knowing it would be subject to a CAPTCHA, much less a broken one. Please also update the manpage to warn users that http://bugs.bitlbee.org/ does not support account creation and requires a CAPTCHA. * bug 3 (manpage) * Bitlbee saves data to /var/lib/bitlbee by default, which is important for users to realize when migrating or backing up systems. Yet this information is somewhat buried in the documentation for the "-d" option. IMO it should be louder, and follow the convention of having a FILES section in the manpage. Bug 220 is loosely related. I don't know what is meant by "configtime", but that bug report should perhaps be handled together with this one. * bug 4 (upstream bug tracker form is out of date) * I'm using version 3.5.1-1, which is not in the list of this bug reporting form. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=1509983846 WARNING torsocks[26270]: [syscall] Unsupported syscall number 217.
