  • [gentoo-dev] Create an index for all qa notices

    From Agostino Sarubbo@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jul 16 20:50:01 2022
    This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

    Hello all,

    I noticed that we have many people that, after received a bug report, ask for what the
    reported 'qa notice' means.

    Sometimes there is a tracker and people can take an hint from the resolved bugs but
    when there aren't a lot of info I feel they are a bit lost.

    Today, by pure chance, I stumbled upon the "Rust Compiler Error Index" and I thought:
    why we don't do the same thing with our qa notices?

    I think that devmanual could be the right place and each QA notice should have an
    'identification code'.
    In that way we can link the error in the qa notice like:

    https://devmanual.gentoo.org/appendices/qa-notices/qa0001[1] https://devmanual.gentoo.org/appendices/qa-notices/qa0002[2]

    and so on.

    What do you think?

    Somewhat orthogonally, it would be a great help to include common
    causes, solutions, and reproduction instructions directly in the bug
    reports and/or trackers.
