Hi Matthieu,

Thanks for your response. The summary suggests there are over 300 failed
tests. Do you really want over 300 bug submissions? If so, I'll have to
work out how to automate that (maybe with
https://github.com/LegNeato/bztools).

What kind of extra information is useful along with these bug reports?
I'm assuming on each one you'd want the relevant section of the
./st/summary file, and mention the environment it was run in
(distribution, installed packages and their versions). Is there a script
in the samba tree to extract from the system this summary?

Cheers,
Geoff
