Description Bartek Rutkowski freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-06-09 07:06:42 UTC
The way it takes to find the bug tracker too cluttered: so you visit the front page, read these tiny links, and here it is, on right, just below mailing lists, 'Report a Bug'! I takes you to another page full of small text, but hold on, there's the link, 'Bugzilla'! Unfortunately, it takes you to the actual Bugzilla project page...

The next link on the page isnt also the one you need, its freebsd ports index page, lets read on. Finally, three next links are the ones to bugzilla, two of them pointing to the very same place, shortly one after another.

Proposed solution:

1) Rename front page 'Report a Bug' link to 'Bug Tracker' to fully reflect where it will take the user (not to the 'file bug form' but to actual FreeBSD's Bugzilla
2) Change the 'Bug Tracker' link to point the user to home page of our Bugzilla
3) Display the information on how to file a bug properly on home page of our Bugzilla

The front page has a direct link

In the top navigation menu:

Support -> Bug Reports -- takes you directly to the bugzilla search page, which includes a link to report a new bug.
