[Bug other/14402] New: gccbug confusion

[wilson at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html page says that use of gccbug will cause your
bug report to be mailed to the bug database, but this isn't true since we
switched from GNATS/PRMS to bugzilla.  It just causes it to be mailed to
gcc-bugs where it then likely gets ignored.

Similarly, the BUGS file in release tar balls says the same thing.

gcc/doc/invoke.texi recommends use of gccbug, but should not.

gcc/doc/sourcebuild.texi also mentions gccbug, but it seems to be harmless.
Likewise for gcc/doc/configfiles.texi.

Perhaps we should get rid of gccbug?

It causes it to be mailed to gcc-gnats, where the 
wwwdocs/bugzilla/contrib/bug_email.pl script parses it.

The place in invoke.texi must have been an oversight -- we purged 
gccbug from bugreport.texi, I think that just nobody had any clue that 
gccbug would be referenced in invoke.texi. What is it doing there anyway?

I stand corrected.  My bug report was prompted by
    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2004-02/msg02598.html
which was sent by gccbug but did not result in a bugzilla bug report.

However, perhaps this is a SuSE specific problem.  Or maybe this was 
user error.  I will have to ask.

There is also the issue of whether invoke.texi should recommend gccbug 
or not.  Wolfgang Bangerth seemed to think it shouldn't.

SuSE specific, AFAICT.
It sends to "feedback@suse.de", and copies to "gcc-bugs", instead of 
sending to "gcc-gnats".
Thus, the email never gets parsed.

It was user error.  The user manually added gcc-bugs to the cc line.

The place in invoke.texi where we recommend gccbug still needs to be 
purged.
