<h2>Problem Report Database</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Current FreeBSD problem reports are tracked using the <a
|
|
href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gnats/">GNATS</a>
|
|
database.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A FreeBSD problem report (PR) is not necessarily a bug with FreeBSD
|
|
itself. In some cases it may be reporting a mistake in the
|
|
documentation (which could be a simple typo). In other cases it may
|
|
be a 'wishlist' item that the submitter would like to see incorporated
|
|
in to FreeBSD. In many cases a PR contains a port which has been
|
|
prepared for inclusion in the FreeBSD
|
|
<a href="&base;/ports/index.html">Ports and Packages</a> collection.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Problem reports start 'open', and are closed as the issue they report
|
|
is resolved. In addition, each PR is assigned a unique tracking ID
|
|
to ensure that it is not lost. Many FreeBSD changes include the
|
|
tracking ID of the PR that prompted the change.</p>

<h2>How to Submit A Problem Report</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Problem reports may be submitted to the development team using the
|
|
<a href="&cgibase;/man.cgi?query=send-pr&sektion=1">send-pr(1)</a>
|
|
command on a &os; system. Another way to submit a problem report is
|
|
to use the web based <a href="&base;/send-pr.html">form</a>,
|
|
or by sending an email message to <a
|
|
href="mailto:freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org">freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org</a>.
|
|
Please note that <a href="&base;/send-pr.html">send-pr</a> is preferred
|
|
since messages sent to the mailing list are <em>not</em> tracked as
|
|
official problem reports, and may get lost in the noise!</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Before submitting a problem report, you might find it useful to
|
|
read the <a
|
|
href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/problem-reports/">Writing
|
|
FreeBSD Problem Reports</a> article. This article describes
|
|
when you should submit a problem report, what you are expected
|
|
to include in one, and what the best way to submit your problem
|
|
report is. Some useful background information is also contained
|
|
in the <a href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pr-guidelines/">Problem
|
|
Report Handling Guidelines</a> article.</p>
