Lo! Since a few months mainline in Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst contains a text written to obsolete the good old reporting-bugs text. For now, the new document still contains a warning at the top that basically says "this is WIP". But I'd like to remove that warning and delete reporting-bugs.rst in the next merge window to make reporting-issues.rst fully official. With this mail I want to give everyone a chance to take a look at the text and speak up if you don't want me to move ahead for now. For easier review I'll post the text of reporting-issues.rst in reply to this mail. I'll do that in a few chunks, as if this was a cover letter for a patch-set. Note, the version I'll send in some areas looks a bit different from the one currently in mainline. That's because the text I'll send already incorporates a few patches from docs-next that are waiting for the next merge window; I also removed the "WIP" box as well as two remaining "FIXME" notes, as those point to aspects I mention below already. @Greg, @Sasha, I'd be especially glad if at least one of you two could take a look and yell if there is something you really dislike from the perspective of the stable maintainers.I responded to the specific email, but will again here. No objection from me at all,
Thx for taking a look!
this is a great resource, thanks for doing this.
Very glad to hear, thx.
If, over time, it needs any tweaks to explain things that people commonly get wrong, that's easy to do,
Which likely will be the case, but that's life. :-D
so don't worry about trying to capture "everything" right away.
Hah, I'm not worried about that (but yes, I have a tendency in that direction...). I just feared something along the lines of "ohh, this is all wrong, who sneaked this into the kernel behind our back". ;-) Ciao, Thorsten
