[opensuse-packaging] Is it ok to submit an updated package with a known bug?
Hi. I've updated the package FBReader, but now it crashes when you click Read book in the Library. I've reported the bug upstream https://github.com/geometer/FBReader/issues/254 but I don't know if I should submit the package or not.

Please don't submit a broken page, it will not make things better. You should submit it once it's working properly. BTW, your bug report is probably missing important information from the backtrace, you probably need some extra -debuginfo packages installed. Robert

Hi. Ok. My opinion is also that broken packages shouldn't be submitted, but I wasn't sure about how to proceed. About the backtrace, It's the first time I debug something and don't know what is the important information missing. I've built the packages with target debug and debuginfo packages are installed ((for libzlui0_99 and zlibrary, fbreader doesn't have one). A link to somewhere explaining how to make good reports and backtraces is welcome.

perfect == enemy of good, usually you can submit packages with known bugs, things do not need to be fixed immediately.. however in this particular case it seems to be a blocker bug..you can't read book from library without crash.. in an ebook reader.. so it is better to stay clear of it at the moment. -- Cristian "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Hi. There is a workaround for the library problem: you can select a book from a drop down list that is next to the library button, but it may be not useful if you have a lot of books. There is another ePub reader I'm thinking to package, Lucidor, but FBReader has de ability to hide all the window decorations and the scrollbar, so you have all the screen devoted to the book, which is very nice when you read in a small screen device like a netbook.
