[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/3] maint: Include bug-reporting info in --help out


From: Eric Blake
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/3] maint: Include bug-reporting info in --help output.
Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2017 09:02:18 -0500

These days, many programs are including a bug-reporting address,
or better yet, a link to the project web site, at the tail of
their --help output.  However, we were not very consistent at
doing so: only qemu-nbd and qemu-qa mentioned anything, with the
latter pointing to an individual person instead of the project.

Add a new #define that sets up a uniform string, mentioning both
bug reporting instructions and overall project details, and which
a downstream vendor could tweak if they want bugs to go to a
downstream database.  Then use it in all of our binaries which
have --help output.

The canned text intentionally references http:// instead of https://
because our https website currently causes certificate errors in
some browsers.  That can be tweaked later once we have resolved the
web site issued.
