41 * GNU mailing lists are also distributed as USENET news groups

376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14

43 The mailing lists are gated both ways with the gnu.all newsgroups at
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
44 ohio-state.edu. The one-to-one correspondence is indicated below. If
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
45 you don't know if your site is on USENET, ask your system administrator.

46 If you are a USENET site and don't get the gnu.all newsgroups, please
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:

47 ask your USENET administrator to get them. If he has your feeds ask
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
48 their feeds, you should win. And everyone else wins: newsgroups make
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs

49 better use of the limited bandwidth of the computer networks and your

109 Please keep each message under 25,000 characters. Some mailers bounce

376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14

111 generally better to send a message offering to make the large file
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14

122 Most of the time, when you reply to a message sent to a list, the reply
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:

123 should not go to the list. But most mail reading programs supply, by
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14

124 default, all the recipients of the original as recipients of the reply.

129 The GNU mailing lists and newsgroups, like the GNU project itself, exist
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:

130 to promote the freedom to share software. So don't use these lists to
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:

131 promote or recommend non-free software. (Using them to post ordering
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs

376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14

138 Since the GNU project uses software development as a means for social

170 might be a misunderstanding or even a feature. Before beginning to
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
171 report bugs, please read the section ``Reporting Emacs Bugs'' toward the
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
172 end of the GNU Emacs reference manual (or node Emacs/Bugs in Emacs's
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
173 built-in Info system) for a discussion of how and when to send in bug
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
174 reports. For GNU programs other than GNU Emacs, also consult their
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
175 documentation for their bug reporting procedures. Always include the
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
176 version number of the GNU program, as well as the operating system and
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
177 machine the program was ran on (if the program doesn't have a version
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs

178 number, send the date of the latest entry in the file ChangeLog). For
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs

179 GNU Emacs bugs, type "M-x emacs-version". A debugger backtrace of any
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:

180 core dump, can also be useful. Be careful to separate out hypothesis
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
181 from fact! For bugs in GNU Emacs lisp, set variable debug-on-error to
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
182 t, and re-enter the command(s) that cause the error message; Emacs will
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:

183 pop up a debug buffer if something is wrong; please include a copy of
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs

184 the buffer in your bug report. Please also try to make your bug report
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs

185 as short as possible; distill the problem to as few lines of code and/or
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14

195 sake of the whole community of users. You may or may not receive a

cvs

196 response; the maintainers will send one if that helps them find or
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs

197 verify a fix. Most GNU maintainers are volunteers and all are
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs

198 overworked; they don't have time to help individuals and still fix the
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14

199 bugs and make the improvements that everyone wants. If you want help

376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14

212 - if you post on the newsgroup, the information about how to

376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs

214 can be very important to know how to reach you, if there is anything
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14

215 in the bug report that we don't understand;
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14

216 - bug reports reach the GNU maintainers quickest when they are

217 sent to the bug-* mailing list submittal address;
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
218 - mail is much more reliable then netnews; and
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
219 - if the internet mailers can't get your bug report delivered,
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
220 they almost always send you an error message, so you can find another
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
