Howdy everyone,
I'd like to add a distribution field to Bugzilla, to make it easier to identify when users may have additional patches installed by their distribution and/or other distribution specific issues (e.g., https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35413). It would be a drop down selection, with the major distributions listed (i.e., ArchLinux, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mint, RedHat, Slackware, Suse, Ubuntu, other).
Comments/feedback welcome.
I like the idea, but one thing that might cause problems is the issue of how to classify Ubuntu derivatives. There are lots of them, they don't all have "buntu" in their names, but they do generally use the Ubuntu Wine packages. Are those users supposed to pick "Ubuntu" or "Other"?
