</blockquote> -</blockquote> - - - -<p> -<strong>When making a bug report please: -</strong> -</p> -<ul> - <li> - Check that the bug is present in the latest version of the man pages. - To do this, you can either - <a href="https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/">download</a> - the latest version of the <em>man-pages</em> tarball, - or look in the - <a href="https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/index.html">online manual - pages</a>. - Alternatively, you can - <a href="download.html">clone</a> - the current version of the Git repository - and check if the bug is present. - <br> - <br> - </li> - - <li> - Note the name and release of the distribution that you are using. - This information is useful because some distributions apply - patches to the <em>man-pages</em> package, and it may be - that your bug report relates to text that is part of - a downstream change. - <br> - <br> - </li> - - <li> - Report <em>logically</em> separate bugs (even for the same page) as - separate reports. - This makes it possible to respond to the bugs in - separate pieces. - </li> -</ul> - -</ul> - - -<p> - <strong>The way to report a <em>man-pages</em> bug</strong> - depends on the type of bug: -</p> - -<ul> - <li> - Simple one-line or two-line errors (typos, spelling, grammar, etc.), - or HTML rendering problems in the - <a href="https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/index.html">online pages</a> - can be reported by sending an email message to the - <a href="maintaining.html">maintainers</a> - and CCing - <span class="email">linux-man@vger.kernel.org</span> - (<a href="linux-man-ml.html"><em>no HTML mail please</em></a>), - - <strong>Please do not report such bugs - via the bugzilla.</strong> - Doing so creates unnecessary bugzilla administrative overhead. - <br> - <br> - </li> - <li> - For a more complex problem or error, - if you know how to fix it, then, ideally, - <a href="https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/tree/CONTRIBUTING">send a patch</a>. - <br> - <br> - </li> - <li> - If you believe there is a problem with a page, - but don't know how to fix it, - then there are two ways to report the bug: - <br> - <br> - <ul> - </li> - <li> - Raise a bug report under the <em>man-pages</em> component of the - <span class="pathname">kernel.org</span> - <a href="https://bugzilla.kernel.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Documentation">bugzilla</a>. - Doing <strong>this is the preferred mechanism</strong>, - especially for difficult problems. - <blockquote> - You will need to create an account on this bugzilla if you - don't already have one. - This bugzilla is oriented toward Linux kernel bugs, - so includes template text that is not relevant for most - <em>man-pages</em> bug reports. - Don't worry about reporting the - <em>Tree</em>, - <em>Alias</em>, or - <em>Kernel Version</em> (just specify "n/a"), - and you can ignore the template text under <em>Description</em>. -
