New tool to report bugs

Thanatermesis · July 22, 2021, 3:48pm

Before, the launcher or "bugs / issues" in the elive menus just went to the bugs website

Now, it has been replaced by a small tool that helps and guides the user to where and how to report the issue, feel free to improve the tool if needed

github.com/Elive/elive-tools

usr/bin/elive-bug-report

master

#!/bin/bash
SOURCE="$0"
source /usr/lib/elive-tools/functions
EL_REPORTS="1"
el_make_environment
. gettext.sh
TEXTDOMAIN="elive-tools"
export TEXTDOMAIN



main(){
    guitool="$(which zenity) --window-icon=/usr/share/icons/gnome/256x256/apps/logo-elive.png"

    #message_intro="$( printf "$( eval_gettext "Before reporting an issue, it's very important to know to where to report it, if you are unsure just use our forums so that we can assist. Remember that by reporting and fixing a bug you will directly benefit including others facing the same problem." )" "" )"

    message_option1="$( printf "$( eval_gettext "I have an issue with something specific to Elive" )" "" )"
    message_option2="$( printf "$( eval_gettext "I have an issue with the desktop itself" )" "" )"
    message_option3="$( printf "$( eval_gettext "I have an issue with an application unrelated to Elive" )" "" )"
    message_option4="$( printf "$( eval_gettext "I have a problem with my hardware drivers" )" "" )"

Wait...can't they just post on the forum?

the tool is more like a "guide", sometimes a bug needs to be reported in the BTS, sometimes commented in the forum, sometimes to the E guys, etc... so its like a friendly guide before to report anything try it! (directly from the menus launcher)
