DESCRIPTION¶
fvwm-bug is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug reports
concerning fvwm in a standard format.
fvwm-bug invokes the editor
specified by the environment variable
EDITOR on a temporary copy of the
bug report format outline. The user must fill in the appropriate fields and
exit the editor.
fvwm-bug then mails the completed report to the local
fvwm maintainer, the fvwm workers list
fvwm-workers@fvwm.org, or
address. If the report cannot be mailed, it is saved in the file
dead.fvwm-bug in the invoking user's home directory.
The bug report format outline consists of several sections. The first section
provides information about the machine, operating system, the fvwm version,
and the compilation environment. The second section should be filled in with a
description of the bug. The third section should be a description of how to
reproduce the bug. The optional fourth section is for a proposed fix. Fixes
are encouraged.
