Following cls' request in n.p.m.unix. Sorry for the delay. Suggested wording on http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided&product=Browser : In the Additional Information section, an extra paragraph: "If your Mozilla binary was not obtained from mozilla.org (for example, if you built it yourself), please include the contents of <a href="about:buildconfig">about:buildconfig</a>."

Isn't this a bmo hack,not a generic bugzilla thing?
My comment about needing this information from mozilla.org builds still stands since there's no mandate about the build configuration of builds uploaded to the ftpsite.

bbaetz: no, because the Bugzilla Helper, as checked in to Bugzilla CVS, is the one used by mozilla.org. It creeps in as a "sample implementation of bug entry templates" ;-) cls: we have to compromise between laying additional requirements on all bug reporters and increasing the size of every bug report by 13 lines, and the need to have this information in particular cases. A search of every comment in the database for "about:buildconfig" must put a maximum limit on the number of times this information has been asked for by a QA person. It reveals 16 bugs in the last two months. I therefore have difficulty believing it's necessary on every bug report. Gerv
Well, that ignores the fact that about:buildconfig has only been in the tree for 2 months, and there's only been one "official release" (alpha milestone) with that feature (not advertised afaik) and that most people (QA & developers included) still don't know about it. And again, the build number is not necessary on *every* bug report but the ones where it is necessary, it's very useful. But I'm not interested in rehashing that discussion. Just add the note that the feature exists and perhaps people will intuit for themselves when they think it's important to include.

I would like to have this and I'm sure lots of the QA people do, too. They spend a lot of time finding people using the xft and gtk2 builds that have known issues.

Have I still not fixed this? Sincere apologies. Here's a patch for the Bugzilla tip - it won't apply directly to b.m.o, but we'll get this next time b.m.o. upgrades, at least. Gerv
