- ;;; Commentary:
- ;;
- ;; Introduction
- ;; ============
- ;; This program is for lisp package authors and can be used to ease
- ;; reporting of bugs. When invoked, reporter-submit-bug-report will
- ;; set up a mail buffer with the appropriate bug report address,
- ;; including a lisp expression the maintainer of the package can eval
- ;; to completely reproduce the environment in which the bug was
- ;; observed (e.g. by using eval-last-sexp). This package proved
- ;; especially useful during my development of cc-mode.el, which is
- ;; highly dependent on its configuration variables.
- ;;
- ;; Do a "C-h f reporter-submit-bug-report" for more information.
- ;; Here's an example usage:
- ;;
- ;;(defconst mypkg-version "9.801")
- ;;(defconst mypkg-maintainer-address "mypkg-help@foo.com")
- ;;(defun mypkg-submit-bug-report ()
- ;; "Submit via mail a bug report on mypkg"
- ;; (interactive)
- ;; (require 'reporter)
- ;; (reporter-submit-bug-report
- ;; mypkg-maintainer-address
- ;; (concat "mypkg.el " mypkg-version)
- ;; (list 'mypkg-variable-1
- ;; 'mypkg-variable-2
- ;; ;; ...
- ;; 'mypkg-variable-last)))
-
- ;; Mailing List
- ;; ============
- ;; I've set up a mailing list to report bugs or suggest enhancements,
- ;; etc. This list's intended audience is elisp package authors who are
- ;; using reporter and want to stay current with releases. Here are the
- ;; relevent addresses:
- ;;
- ;; Administrivia: reporter-request@anthem.nlm.nih.gov
- ;; Submissions: reporter@anthem.nlm.nih.gov
-
- ;; Packages that currently use reporter are: cc-mode, supercite, elp,
- ;; tcl, ediff, crypt, vm, edebug, archie, and efs. If you know of
- ;; others, please email me!
