Efficient bug report

Here is some tips to write bug report efficiently. Bug report are the primary way to improve the software.

  • Keep in mind that we are volunteers. Take care of writing clear, polite bug report to get quick answer.
  • Include information about version, platform, usage of opam or 0install…
    Try, if possible for you, to test against a fresh version (from the git repository) if the bug persists. If you can't, we'll do it for you.
  • Say precisely what is the problem, what is happening, what you expect… Write down the step to follow to find the bug. This way, we can find your bug, pick up the guilty code and fix it easier.
  • You can join file on Gitlab. Take advantage of it to join screenshot for example.

Even if these rules are important, an imprecise bug report or a bug reported on a bad location is better than nothing. Write your problem, we'll try to guide you if necessary.

Improve the website

There is no predefined way, send me an email: leowzukw@vmail.me.

It's possible to host your packages in the download area, if you don't want to find hosting yourself.

Plug-ins

Write plug-ins! (Will be documented some day).

You are free to interface your own program with it and I would be glade to make easier for you.
