No, no, no!!! Please don't create a ticket for something until you've verified that it's an actual bug -- doing so often wastes valuable developer time because someone has to close tickets that aren't actually bugs. The most appropriate place to report/inquire about potential bugs is the -users list; queries to the -dev list should be limited to issues regarding specific code changes. Once the chatter on the -users list has verified that there's an actual bug, you can migrate the discussion to the -dev list, or create a Trac ticket, or both. Quite often a developer will pick up on the list discussion and create a ticket themselves. Of course, if you are a developer and can verify that there is a bona fide bug in the code, then you can bypass the -users list :-) -JAC _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
