Where is the best place to report bugs?
« on: September 27, 2004, 11:22:41 am »
I'm really impressed with the OZ 3.5.1 release, and would like to know where to submit bug reports to help improve it.  I'm using OPIE... but I'm not sure where the best place is for submitting bug reports, since I don't know if a given bug is related to OPIE, or to the OpenZaurus implementation of OPIE, or if it is a bug in the Open Embedded architecture on which the new OZ is built...

Where is the best place to submit bug reports?  I'm guessing that it would be more helpful to OZ programmers if they didn't have to browse the ZUG postings to find bug reports.  Is the bug tracker on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=434956&group_id=43045&func=browse) the correct place for reporting any bugs encountered in OZ 3.5.1?
SL-5500 :: OZ 3.5.2 | Hentges :: OPIE 1.1.7 :: Sandisk 64MB SD (ext2) :: Pretec CF 802.11b

I might add that sometimes it can be hard (even for us) to distinguish whether a given bug is e.g. an Opie or an OpenZaurus bug. In this case, please add the bugs to both bugtrackers and we'll remove 'em from one of the trackers once we found out which team is to blame

I already found some bugs with I reported on http://bugs.openembedded.org
I installed / so much times on my SD card that it's now dead!  I reported each bug I found.

I find disappointing tickets aren't taken on bugs.openembedded.org. I don't understand this, since you guys (Hrw & Mickeyl: thank you for the good job!) solve some of those bugs.

We don't use the sf.net bugtracker. Please put the issues of the oe bugtracker up to oe@handhelds.org
