NAME¶
fvwm-bug - report a bug in fvwm
SYNOPSIS¶
fvwm-bug [--help] [--version] [address]
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.
ENVIRONMENT¶
fvwm-bug will utilize the following environment variables if they exist:
- EDITOR
- Specifies the preferred editor. If EDITOR is not
set, fvwm-bug defaults to emacs.
- HOME
- Directory in which the failed bug report is saved if the mail fails.
