[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]
From: Gregor Zattler <telegraph <at> gmx.net> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 24.0.50; emacs manual does not mention debbugs.gnu.org Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2010 19:09:32 +0200The manual explains how to search for already known bugs in etc/Problems or in the FAQ. Since there is now a online bug tracker for emacs it should be mentioned in the manual. In section "Reporting Bugs" the third paragraph states: > Before reporting a bug, it is a good idea to see if it is already > known. You can find the list of known problems in the file > `etc/PROBLEMS' in the Emacs distribution; type `C-h C-p' to read it. > Some additional user-level problems can be found in *note Bugs and > problems: (efaq)Bugs and problems. Looking up your problem in these > two documents might provide you with a solution or a work-around, or > give you additional information about related issues. I propose the following change after the third sentence: > Before reporting a bug, it is a good idea to see if it is already > known. You can find the list of known problems in the file > `etc/PROBLEMS' in the Emacs distribution; type `C-h C-p' to read it. > Some additional user-level problems can be found in *note Bugs and > problems: (efaq)Bugs and problems. If you don't find your bug in these two documents you may also search the emacs bugtracker which is online accessible under http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?package=emacs. Don't feel intimidated by the sheer number of bugs: There is a search form at the end of that page. You may also search for bugs via http://debbugs.gnu.org/index.html#search. Looking up your problem in these sources might provide you with a solution or a work-around, or give you additional information about related issues. Sorry, no patch. Thanks for emacs.
