-Reporting bugs
- Report bugs to the mailing list, following the instructions above
- for sending mails to the list. If you can write a patch (see
- instructions for sending patches above), it's preferred.
-
- If you're unsure if the bug is in the manual page or in the code
- being documented (kernel, glibc, ...), it's best to send the
- report to both at the same time, that is, CC all the mailing
- lists that may be concerned by the report.
-
- Some distributions (for example Debian) apply patches to the
- upstream manual pages. If you suspect the bug is in one of those
- patches, report it to your distribution maintainer.
-
- Send logically separate reports. For unrelated pages, or for
- logically-separate issues in the same page, send separate emails.
-
- There's also a bugzilla, but we don't use it as much as the
- mailing list.
