http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29400 Bug #: 29400 Summary: Bug submission requirements: guidelines not clear that you should be using the latest beta. Product: WineHQ Bugzilla Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: bugzilla-unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: hgtoo(a)yahoo.com Classification: Unclassified When clicking to lodge a new bug you're directed to read http://wiki.winehq.org/Bugs which says you should be "using the latest version of Wine" & in turn directs you to http://www.winehq.org/site/download There, two latest releases, stable & development, are listed. Next, http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu hints that you should go for stable rather than development release, so I did, especially as I've never known a bug submission process that requires you to be running a beta. But, that's what I was told to do, in the comments, when I actually submitted bug 29398 & bug 29399 I've since had http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-0bae04b4126dffb8a08bf020982badacb6f367ff pointed out to me, which more strongly hints the opposite - that you should run the development release. More clarity about this in the instructions presented to users when lodging bug reports would be a good idea. The barriers are high enough already - yet another account to register for (openoffice, google code, sourceforge,...), system to get the hang of, & process to learn. I'd already put this off for months. Not a complaint, just a suggestion. Cheers. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
