Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 4/4] maint: Include bug-reporting info in --help output
Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2017 11:33:53 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170803163353.19558-5-eblake@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170803163353.19558-1-eblake@redhat.com>
These days, many programs are including a bug-reporting address,
or better yet, a link to the project web site, at the tail of
their --help output. However, we were not very consistent at
doing so: only qemu-nbd and qemu-qa mentioned anything, with the
latter pointing to an individual person instead of the project.
Add a new #define that sets up a uniform string, mentioning both
bug reporting instructions and overall project details, and which
a downstream vendor could tweak if they want bugs to go to a
downstream database. Then use it in all of our binaries which
have --help output.
The canned text intentionally references http:// instead of https://
because our https website currently causes certificate errors in
some browsers. That can be tweaked later once we have resolved the
web site issued.
