Of course we'd be more than happy to help you with this, but I got some thoughts: - wouldn't you lost the information about what kernel the bug is about? It's true that in the Sys info below we got: > Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) but that's the running kernel. What if a user want to report a bug against another version of the kernel (for example that can't boot) than the one running? How do you manage this? - would you please be so kind to provide us the stricter regular expression to match a binary kernel package? :) this way we can match the current bin package name against the regex and do the voodoo magic to force the report against linux-2.6 (yeah, this also means that if you change the binary name structure, you should communicate us back the new regexp). I could write myself, but I think that you would end up with a much better one ;) Cheers, -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
