As you see from my signature, I'm extrapolating from sparc here, but on sparc, at least, the specs and configuration of a failing system (or of a system which cannot be made to fail) is sometimes highly relevant. Having this sort of information can't hurt and might help, so I'd ask please provide it someplace if convenient. > Anyways, I agree that posting emerge --info to a highly frequented stable bug > is annoying and should be abolished. Yes. Well, if you say everything is good, I just don't read it. I sometimes compromise on bugs and give a two or three line indication of just which system(s) I am reporting on. If people want more information, they can ask me or go to a summary page sparc maintains --- all my systems are described there. > -- > MfG, Matti Bickel > Homepage: http://www.rateu.de > Encrypted/Signed Email preferred > Regards, Ferris - -- Ferris McCormick (P44646, MI) Developer, Gentoo Linux (Devrel, Sparc) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5-ecc0.1.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFE28DyQa6M3+I///cRAqWRAKCSzbmYM8G16DzXuqdUHbYgVnivsQCgyVqS mO5HEmm6oc3yrqfX0IfrMug= =T6kP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
