- How to report bugs -

- In the report please include the following information -
-
- Operating system and version

- How to reproduce the bug if possible
- If the bug was a crash, include the exact text that was printed out
- A stacktrace where possible [see below]
-
- How to get a stack trace -
-
- If the crash is reproducible, it is possible to get a stack trace and
- attach it to the bug report. The following steps are used to obtain a
- stack trace -
-
- Run the program in gdb [the GNU debugger] or any other debugger
- ie. gdb gnome-keyboard-properties
- Start the program
- ie. (gdb) run
- Reproduce the crash and the program will exit to the gdb prompt
- Get the back trace
- ie. (gdb) bt full
-
- Once you have the backtrace, copy and paste this either into the
- 'Comments' field or attach a file with it included.
-
-
- Patches -
-
- Patches should be submitted to bugzilla.gnome.org or emailed to the
- gnomecc-list@gnome.org list. If using bugzilla, attach
- the patch to a new bug report [or preferably, check to see if there is
- already a bug report that corresponds to your patch]. Bug reports
- containing patches should include the 'PATCH' keyword.
-
- Patches should be created using the unified diff form.
- ie. svn diff file-to-be-patched.c > patch.diff
