Having a user figure out the component to the package level is difficult enough. I think that really the right approach here is basically bug buddy-like, but with a little bit better integration and knowledge of how things work. eg, if you get a crash, then that should be able to automatically be able to be mapped back to the package that it comes from (and preferably, prompt for getting -debuginfo to get better backtraces). For things which aren't crashes, you probably want to have people pick the application (via a layout that mirrors the menus) and then map that back. This is one of those things that would help make great improvements in the quality and correctness of bug reports and can easily be done by someone in the community. Oh, and in my magic perfect world, there would also be the nice native front-end to filing things that used xml-rpc and did searches for things that might be duplicates before allowing you to file it :-) Jeremy -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
