Xine is broken on one of my two machines because of these updates, and that seems par for the course.
Bugzilla ID?
I know bugzilla is a bug tracking system, but if I don't know what part of the updagte cycle broke it, how can I reliably report it?
Did you post for help to track it down? I mean, if it broke two machines it was either repeatable or user error.
Real life happens outside of Bugzilla, ya know...
"If it's not in bugzilla, it doesn't exist."
Don't expect unreported bugs to magically get fixed.
Well, it exposes it to a wider area of users, and lets me know if the problem is widespread or not. So information was gained, even if it's only by a lack of data.
I also note, you didn't answer my question -- If I don't know what broke it, how can it be reliably reported? Doesn't it become more of a crank at that point, rather than a confirmed bug?
