Are there any suggestions you can give to make sure that ADC gets the
bug to the right group? I've had a simple bug (with the patch to fix
it) filed for the past 8 months, and it has not even been responded to.
#5075341 - /usr/include/rpcsvc/yp_prot.h has missing includes
It's a simple fix, and this lack of response from Apple has been quite
frustrating. Before this recent more open-source friendly X11
development, I thought Apple was content filing user bug reports in /
dev/null. I certainly hope other aspects of development (especially
BSD related and bug reports) become more open-source friendly.

Where does it go?
Do Ben or other people on this list who are at apple see it? I'm
asking
because 1.2a10 crashed so often for me I went back to 1.2a9.
For each crash, when the 'submit this bug' dialog appeared, I
submitted a
bug. Do I need to do something else for this group?
This is what happens for the "submit this bug" button in the crash
dialog:
1. Crash log is filed in a database at Apple
2. When enough similar crash logs arrive, a bug report is
automatically created
3. Bug report is sent to X11 group
4. Ben Byer reads bug report
This is what happens if you submit a bug report at http://bugreport.apple.com
:
1. Bug report is sent to Apple Developer Connection
2. ADC forwards bug to X11 group
3. Ben Byer reads bug report
If you have a reproducible crash with instructions or code to make
it occur, bugreport.apple.com is better than the "submit this bug"
button. Be sure to specify which X11 version you're using, and any
X11 configuration changes you've made.
