Will google let you specify core requirements and then optional add-on
requirements?
If so, pulling the email address might make a good add-on requirement.
Again, you should discuss it with your mentor.

You can then drill down into virtualbox from that repo and find out
who the maintainer is. I don't know if that is done via zypper, or
osc, but either way you can see that a lot of the data needed to file
a bugzilla can be gathered automatically.
to crawl through installed packages. :)
It would be great if that could be used to populate a ncurses formHere, I was thinking to request the user to enter details like:
and/or a GUI form for the user to fill out. I don't know if you
should allow the automatically collected data to be edited by the user
or not, but the bug details clearly need to manually input.
- required steps to reproduce the behavior
- expected behavior
- actual behavior
- severity (although it depends on the user's objectiveness)
- also, something like a tick box to say if the issue is security related
or not ( i feel that this is important, aside from the severity scale )
- last but not least, maybe a set of predefined tags; what do you
think?
Then when the user clicks "file" (or whatever), you submit the bug toI would need to have the user's email. I think it can be marked as an
bugzilla and maybe email the submitter an email with a link to their
bugzilla entry.
optional step for the user.
Niceties would include:Don't know about walking through those steps, but at least a link to
- looking to ensure they have a bugzilla account, and if not walking
the user through creating one.
the register page.
- pulling dmesg logs, yast logs, etc. as needed for specific bugs.I'll do some research!
ie. When filing a yast subsystem bug, there is a process the user is
supposed to follow.
- see http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Report_a_YaST_bug for just one
set of features you could add to your tool
I don't know that your tool would need to be part of the follow-onMaybe I could ask the user if he agrees to be contacted via e-mail if
questions etc. In fact I'm not sure how you could really assist with
that.
in need for more details?
Thank you,

to have an account I think a email address is mandatory.
You will have to get the login / password info from the user. Then
you can login and get the email address they have in their profile:
see https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi
I was thinking on something like, at install request for the user's
username and password and, optionally, for his e-mail address, so I
wouldn't have to find a way to extract data from the profile. Seemed
easier. What do you think? :)

I guess that's up to you and your mentor.
