| |
| <p> |
| The Mesa bug database is hosted on |
| <a href="http://freedesktop.org" target="_parent">freedesktop.org</a>. |
| The old bug database on SourceForge is no longer used. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| To file a Mesa bug, go to |
| <a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mesa" |
| target="_parent"> |
| Bugzilla on freedesktop.org</a> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Please follow these bug reporting guidelines: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Check if a new version of Mesa is available which might have fixed |
| the problem. |
| <li>Check if your bug is already reported in the database. |
| <li>Monitor your bug report for requests for additional information, etc. |
| <li>If you're reporting a crash, try to use your debugger (gdb) to get a stack |
| trace. Also, recompile Mesa in debug mode to get more detailed information. |
| <li>Describe in detail how to reproduce the bug, especially with games |
| and applications that the Mesa developers might not be familiar with. |
| <li>Provide a simple GLUT-based test program if possible |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| Bug reports will automatically be forwarded by bugzilla to the Mesa |
| developer's mailing list. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The easier a bug is to reproduce, the sooner it will be fixed. |
| Please do everything you can to facilitate quickly fixing bugs. |
| If your bug report is vague or your test program doesn't compile |
| easily, the problem may not be fixed very quickly. |
