Your bug reports play an essential role in making the binary utilities
|
||
|
|
reliable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Reporting a bug may help you by bringing a solution to your problem, or
|
||
|
|
it may not. But in any case the principal function of a bug report is
|
||
|
|
to help the entire community by making the next version of the binary
|
||
|
|
utilities work better. Bug reports are your contribution to their
|
||
|
|
maintenance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In order for a bug report to serve its purpose, you must include the
|
||
|
|
information that enables us to fix the bug.
