the "does this work with X"

[Plagiatus]

Someone who found the project and wants to use it in their situation. But instead of trying it themselves whether it does in fact work with their specific usecase, they take to the bug tracker to ask "hey, does this work with foo version 1.20?" or "hey is this compatible with bar", when bar has nothing to do with the project itself.

I don't know, try it, and make a feature request if it doesn't.

A variant of it is "I know it doesn't come from X, but I'm forced to use Y with it, which is affected by a bug that we cannot fix, so it would be cool if you could implement in X the workaround for the bug in Y". At least when it's kindly asked, sometimes it's possible to discuss but sometimes it's more "I need this" or "we could also see the problem as coming from X since when I remove it the problem disappears". BTW it seldom derives to the negger ("can't believe it doesn't work, everyone else does it, I must switch to something else"), who reappears a year or two later, very timidly, without making noise about it anymore after discovering nobody else did it either!

Jag kan ej återskapa problemet. Vilket operativsystem använder du?

Jag använder Windows 11, men jag replikerade det också på WSL, om det hjälper.

Konstig, kanske beror på att jag har ingenting i /var eller /etc.
