Description Christian Rose 2001-10-13 14:21:33 UTC 
When I go to
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=bugzilla.gnome.org to
report a bug, the OS field is automatically set to "other" although my
user-agent is:

  Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/0.12.3 (Linux i686) Gecko/20010917
Based on the user agent, I think the OS field should have been "Linux" by
default instead.
Comment 1 Luis Villa 2001-10-15 16:33:40 UTC 
I was looking at this code a couple weeks ago; IIRC the code (as of
0.12) isn't really smart enough/educated enough to pick out galeon.
Shouldn't be too hard to add a regexp for it if someone has the time
to take a quick look at it.

Comment 3 David Fallon 2002-07-03 20:33:01 UTC 
yet another "fixed in 2.16" - although this does bring up the
interesting question, should we stick HTTP_USER_AGENT (the whole
thing) in OS details as the default? louie?
Comment 4 Luis Villa 2002-07-09 06:14:46 UTC 
Dave: on a new report you mean? Sure, definitely. Too bad it won't
contain distro :)
Comment 5 Luis Villa 2004-03-25 13:45:48 UTC 
Detection should be fixed, and os details is no more.
