15.2: Reporting Bugs
Please report any bugs you find in Gri. Bug reports help make Gri more
reliable and useful for all users. The procedure for reporting bugs,
described below, is quite standard.
-
Go to the bug-tracking part of the Source Forge Gri development site, at
`
http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=5511 '
to see whether your bug has already been reported. You may find that it
has been reported and fixed already in a new version, in which case you
should archive your existing Gri version and upgrade. If the bug has
been reported and not fixed, then you may still wish to add a
supplemental bug report, so the author knows that this bug is of concern
to you as well as the others. (Plus, reporting it this way ensures that
you'll receive an email when the bug is fixed.)
-
It is crucial that you report the version of Gri that you are using.
You may discover this by running Gri as `
gri -version '.
-
When reporting bugs, please do all you can to reduce your application
and your data to the smallest and simplest state. As you can expect,
this makes the debugging procedure much simpler.
-
If you have the ability to do so, please try to find the bug yourself.
After all, Gri is open-source for a reason! The procedure is described
in the next section (see Killing Bugs).
