But by actually submitting a bug report in the first place, they're already helping. The maintainer can either fix it or open a dialogue up with the submitter if more information is needed. The fact is -- if we require research beforehand, there will be FAR fewer reports. I for one will not submit any (or very few at least) bug reports if this happens. This will end up hurting Debian seriously. -- John Goerzen Linux, Unix consulting & programming [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Developer, Debian GNU/Linux (Free powerful OS upgrade) www.debian.org | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Visit the Air Capitol Linux Users Group on the web at http://www.aclug.org -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
