[Phpmyadmin-devel] warning developers before bug submission

[Mohamed Ashraf]

I use a line counts file to allow for some line number translation for
submission of bug reports and the script that generates this file is run
from the release scripts. If however a developer uses a git revision
instead of a release, this file will not have been created. another
situation is that the developer generates the file but does changes to the
js files which renders the file obsolete.

I can detect the obsolescence of the file by checking of modification dates
however what do I do if the file does not exist or is obsolete. should I
disable error reporting entirely or just display a warning? keeping in mind
that a problem with line number translation may result in inaccuracies of
grouping similar reports together on the error report server.

if I am to entirely disable or display a warning, what should the message
say?
