RFC: LP improvements



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi list,

I'm not sure if this issue has been raised already...

I find it extremely difficult to figure out against which package
version, architecture and distribution release a particular bug has been
filed, as most users omit this vital information when they report bugs
via the LP webinterface...

Since apport fills in this information like this automatically:

- ------------------------------
ProblemType: Crash
Architecture: i386
Date: Thu Apr 5 16:53:49 2007
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 7.04
ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/qt-language-selector
InterpreterPath: /rofs/usr/bin/python2.5
Package: language-selector-qt 0.2.5
PackageArchitecture: all
ProcCmdline: /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/qt-language-selector --mode install
ProcCwd: /home/ubuntu
ProcEnviron:
 PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
 LANG=da_DK.UTF-8
 SHELL=/bin/bash
PythonArgs: ['/usr/bin/qt-language-selector', '--mode', 'install']
SourcePackage: language-selector
Uname: Linux ubuntu 2.6.20-12-generic #2 SMP Wed Mar 21 20:55:46 UTC
2007 i686 GNU/Linux
- --------------------------------

I'd like to suggest:
 1. to add mandatory fields on the bug report form for
  * Architecture (drop down)
  * DistroRelease (drop down)
  * Package Version (need to fill in manually)
 2. to collect the bug reporting time and add it to the bug report
automatically
 3. to add additional columns for Architecture, DistroRelease and
Package Version in the bug overview screen.

For hardy I suggest developing a better GUI to put on the desktop and
let users comfortably report bugs. The current apport-gtk package seems
only to become active when a crash occurs.

Cheers
Arne
