I found a bug in Guix that I wanted to report. 2. I checked the manual, which directed me to https://issues.guix.gnu.org/. 3. That page directed me to "submit your patches or email bug-guix@gnu.org to open a new issue." There were no further instructions, so I guessed that sending an email with the body "help" would return one with instructions on how to file an actual bug report. 4. Instead, that filed a bug reporting "help." Perhaps this bug could be repurposed into one about improving the instructions for reporting bugs. :) Now I'll file the real bug report...

As a person that is super-experienced with reporting bugs in Guix, I found the instructions perfectly clear :) So, it's good to have feedback from somebody with fresh eyes. Can you suggest any improvements to the text? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
