question - howto use postfix+reportbug in order to send bug reports to debian.org
Hi all,
I am using Ubuntu 7.04 (please don't laugh) and at times I do report bugs. Sometimes I see that the bug-report is concerning upstream (some issue, usability bug or feature-list wish). Unlike
bugs.launchpad.net which ubuntu has, the only way I came to know is one can report bugs to debian through an application called reportbug. After installing reportbug, making my bug-report came to know further that it needs an MTA. Digging further came to know that there are only 2 , postfix & sendmail. As I am reading my mail on the web (Gmail) hence didn't no need to have an e-mail client (or MUA) hence became non-plussed. I am sure I am neither the 1st one to have this problem nor the last one. Hence instead of just posting for the howto of this in the mailing list, also have published it in
ubuntuforums.org http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2463091#post2463091 . The main reason behind doing all this is there are not enough bug triagers around. Something like 30 for all the bugs which come around. So there is a possibility that such bugs do not get reported. Hence if we have a direct route to u guys it would make things that much more easier for all around. So post the answer at the forum itself so people can use it. There is also possibility of adding the whole thing to a wiki so people can use it to make bug-reports to debian as & when needed. Less stress for everybody concerned. Cheers.
