I may be being dim, but it just isn't obvious to me at all. The internet is a set of linked documents. If there is a document somewhere on the internet which already specifies the correct steps to take to debug something, it seems to make sense just to point to that instead of rewriting the whole thing just because we want to have an orderly set of documents in our wiki. > In fact a lot of maintainers withing the distribution would like us to > do just that and while we dont have our own bugzilla instance where > reporters wont be hitting "Your not authorized to view this bug" or > other RHEL related bugzilla policies that nobody knows who are ( or > those that do cant disclose it ). > > To me we should either try to keep everything locally within the QA > community and withing the distribution by building our own knowledge > base or we should simply do it the other way around. I still don't think you've actually demonstrated any causal linkage between these two things. Debugging instructions are debugging instructions. Bug reports are bug reports. They are separate things. I don't see how sourcing one of those things upstream inevitably means we should send the other one of them upstream. There is no obvious causal linkage there. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
