Hi!
Here is a patch for bug-buddy, that uses the new stuff in .desktop
files to make reporting bugs easier.
It includes three little changes:
* Remove the non-working code that tried to select the crashed
application
* Now, after a crash it tries to get the product and
component info, and if available, skips these two steps.
* If invoked from scratch, after the user has selected an
application, guess the product.
I was talking with Luis and we think that this will very useful
for allow non-hacker make better reports.
Please, review the patch, comment, flame, and if approved, please apply.
(Yes, I know that we're in feature freeze, but this change is small [for
the user: just skip two steps] and very useful)
I also want to add X-Gnome-Bugzilla-OtherBinaries to some .desktop file and
all the stuff to the applets bonobo-activation files.
This is my thought-list (and some patches) for after the freeze:
* Skip mostfreq bugs page if there are no bugs of this product/component
* Change first step:
- If bug-buddy ran from sisegv --> Debbug screen; describe bug
- If bug-buddy was invoked alone --> (Wellcome? / Kind of bug?);
Select application; describe bug
* Move download to wellcome screen and make it conditional (Update). Fix
the logic of download/get local version
* Re-organize some code
* Report a bug from inside the application (like mokeytalk patch of
Ximian)
* Add "kind of bug" first step --> Use different templates for
differents kinds
* Add keywords and set severity based on kind of bug
Salu2
