bug in the reportbug scripts?
Hi Frank!
I have stolen teh reportbug script from tetex and found that the script
is strange/buggy:
I suggest changing it as follows (for both reportbug.base and
reportbug.extra):
--- reportbug.base (Revision 452)
+++ reportbug.base (Arbeitskopie)
@@ -1,6 +1,6 @@
#!/bin/sh
-cat >&3 <<EOF
+cat <<EOF
Please read and follow the instructions in the first lines below
the text: "-- Package-specific info:".
Thank you.
@@ -8,6 +8,8 @@
Press ENTER to continue
EOF
+getkey
+
cat >&3 <<EOF
If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
Rational: The first text should be SHOWN to the user before mutt is
started, but it is included IN the bug report, together with the Press
ENTER to continue
getkey is necessary to get a key for the continuation.
I tried it and it worked.
But WHY didn't these strange bug reports show up already? Is only
reportbug using this stuff? Or do I miss something?
Best wishes
Norbert
