Hi,
When talking with PulseAudio users, I sometimes need to tell people to file ALSA bugs, and it would be nice to have a web page that explains how to do that. (Also, I found that the alsa packages in OpenEmbedded point to a non-functional bug tracker, and I wanted to fix the packages, but I couldn't find a substitute link.) Therefore I created a wiki page: http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Bug_Tracking
The Bug_Tracking wiki page points to another new page, explaining alsa- info.sh: http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/AlsaInfo
Are the ALSA maintainers happy with the contents? I'm not really an expert on how you prefer bugs to be reported.
Yeah, I'm happy with it. Thank you!
Though, a few more hints would be better to be put:
- alsa-devel ML needs the manual approval if posted from
non-subscribers. Subscribe to ML before posting, or be patient.
- A too long text is seen as a spam. The alsa-info.sh output might be
better compressed and attached to the mail. (A long text can go out after the manual approval, though.)
- HTML mails are silently dropped as spam on alsa-devel ML.
Thanks, I added these points to the wiki page now.
