A reporter should only be asked to bisect (using git or other tools) /if/ a developer determined that bisection may speed up the debugging process or is the only remaining option to make progress with a bug. It would be wrong to steal a reporter's valuable time by asking for bisection before anybody familiar with the matter even had a first look at the report. Remember: - Not all bugs can be economically narrowed down by bisection. - Bisection requires skills, rigor, and time. - Alas there are considerable sections in our kernel history which are not bisectable. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--= =-=- ---=- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
