12 Reporting bugs

To report bugs or suggest enhancements for GNU LibreDWG, please “submit a bug” at Savannah or send electronic mail to libredwg@gnu.org. (If you use the web interface, you don’t need to also send email, since that is done automatically.) Pull requests at the github mirror are also accepted for now.

For bug reports, please include enough information for the maintainers to reproduce the problem. Generally speaking, that means:

• The version numbers of LibreDWG and any other program(s) or manual(s) involved.
• Hardware and operating system names and versions.
• The contents of any input files necessary to reproduce the bug.
• The expected behavior and/or output.
• A description of the problem and samples of any erroneous output.
• Options you gave to configure other than specifying installation directories.
• Anything else that you think would be helpful. Usually that’s the failing part of the object processed with dwgread -v5, but only the failing part, not the whole output.

When in doubt whether something is needed or not, include it. It’s better to include too much than to leave out something important.

Patches are welcome; if possible, please make them with ‘git format-patch’ and include ChangeLog entries (see Change Log in The GNU Emacs Manual). Please follow the existing GNU coding conventions. See CONTRIBUTING in the source distribution.
