"Q: People got mad at me because I entered "Install SUSE x.y-Beta-z" in
Bugzilla's "how to reproduce" field. Why?
A: Because this is completely useless information - redundant and not helpful
in any way to reproduce a bug. We can tell a bug is about installation because
you selected "Installation" from the Bugzilla component list, and we can tell
what release you installed from the release list right next to that.
What we really need to know is what you did and how you did it - like "boot
from CD1, select "Installation", select language "Klingon", leave the
installation settings as they are, confirm installation, watch as your hard
disk goes up in flames."
And no, this really, really isn't nitpicking - we have so many installation
modes and so many installation paths that it takes ages to figure all that out
from the log files. You have that information readily available, so please
enter it at that field.
Of course, we don't need that level of detail when you are reporting a bug
about a help text in one of the final hardware configuration dialogs (like
printer, TV card, etc.) - but the steps to get to the place where the problem
occurred we really need. We have so many dialogs that it isn't easy to figure
out which one you mean and which path you followed."
DO NOT misuse the subject as the bug description.
