I cannot endorse telling people to consult the discord under it's current administration.

More precisely limit suggestions on searching.

I find this sentence confusing. Why are you mentioning the FAQ when the link it to the handbook?

144

Does that checkbox still exist? I don't remember seeing it the last 2 or 3 times I opened an update for my ports.

Well, it is a Frequently Asked Question. It used to be in the FAQ but now it isn't. I won't object if we just s/FAQ// .

documentation/content/en/articles/problem-reports/_index.adoc

Hmm. I don't know, but it seems to be setting it automatically.

I think it's basically fine.

and mailing lists?

144

If don't see that, click "Show Advanced Fields" on the top-left of the submitting new bug interface. Then in the "attachment" section, there is "Content Type: If the attachment is a patch, check the box below. [ ] patch"

This is very useful as it will mark the patch's mime type as "text/plain" which can be viewed in the browser correctly.

145

Indeed, and not sure if we want to mention that the patch generated via git format-patch will be detected as application/mbox automatically, this is hard to say a bug in the system as it's indeed a valid mbox format, but it's much better to be attributed as text/plain to be easier to review.

I won't object if we just s/FAQ// .

Come to think of it, I'd make the whole clause "first read the extref:{handbook}/cutting-edge/[Handbook section on Versions]" (if that's indeed the section you mean).

Well, the line just above it is about the mailing lists.

Is *that* where that bug is. It has been driving me nuts.
