Bug 18440 – bugzilla should show an issue template saying: paste output of `dmd -main -Xf=- -Xi=buildInfo -Xi=compilerInfo`

bugzilla should show an issue template saying: ``` paste output of `dmd -main -Xf=- -Xi=buildInfo -Xi=compilerInfo` ``` so we have all the context needed (cf https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/new but simpler for user and better) maybe we could simply add `-Xi=bugreport` which shows all info potentially useful for getting context for a bug report (git hashes of dmd/druntime/phobos, more detailed environment etc)

Brad [1] (the maintainer of Bugzilla) doesn't monitor the issue tracker. You need to contact him directly for any changes though we are currently evaluating other options (GH issues or upgrading to a newer Bugzilla version like [2]). [1] https://github.com/braddr [2] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/

Except for very specific circumstances, everything else is just noise.

FWIW lots of issue trackers require users to post an analog command (eg: brew, tmux)

FreeBSD is an OS, not hardware, and we have an OS field. Most bugs we have are not specific to the OS, and when they are, the OS is pretty obvious when it's not mentioned (e.g. OPTLINK's errors are pretty recognizable). I can't remember there ever being a situation like "wait a second, I wish I knew this bug was on <insert-OS-here> N comments ago". > FWIW lots of issue trackers require users to post an analog command (eg: > brew, tmux) This is of no significance to this discussion.
