| 14 | The old bug database on SourceForge is no longer used. |

| 25 | Please follow these bug reporting guidelines: |
| Brian Paul | 0b27ace | 2003-03-08 17:38:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 26 | </p> |
| 27 | |
| 28 | <ul> |
| Brian | 9ceff4a | 2007-09-05 10:03:32 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 29 | <li>Check if a new version of Mesa is available which might have fixed |
| 30 | the problem. |
| 31 | <li>Check if your bug is already reported in the database. |
| 32 | <li>Monitor your bug report for requests for additional information, etc. |
| 33 | <li>If you're reporting a crash, try to use your debugger (gdb) to get a stack |
| 34 | trace. Also, recompile Mesa in debug mode to get more detailed information. |
| 35 | <li>Describe in detail how to reproduce the bug, especially with games |
| 36 | and applications that the Mesa developers might not be familiar with. |
| Brian Paul | 0b27ace | 2003-03-08 17:38:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 37 | <li>Provide a simple GLUT-based test program if possible |
| Brian Paul | 0b27ace | 2003-03-08 17:38:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 38 | </ul> |
| 39 | |
| 40 | <p> |
| Brian | 9ceff4a | 2007-09-05 10:03:32 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 41 | Bug reports will automatically be forwarded by bugzilla to the Mesa |
| 42 | developer's mailing list. |
| Brian Paul | 0b27ace | 2003-03-08 17:38:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 43 | </p> |
| 44 | |
| 45 | <p> |
| 46 | The easier a bug is to reproduce, the sooner it will be fixed. |
| 47 | Please do everything you can to facilitate quickly fixing bugs. |
| 48 | If your bug report is vague or your test program doesn't compile |
| 49 | easily, the problem may not be fixed very quickly. |
