SYNOPSIS

10

DESCRIPTION

12       fvwm-bug  is  a  shell  script  to  help  the user compose and mail bug
13       reports concerning fvwm in a standard  format.   fvwm-bug  invokes  the
14       editor specified by the environment variable EDITOR on a temporary copy
15       of the bug report format outline. The user must fill in the appropriate
16       fields  and  exit the editor.  fvwm-bug then mails the completed report
17       to  the  local  fvwm  maintainer,  the  fvwm  workers  list  fvwm-work‐
18       ers@fvwm.org,  or address.  If the report cannot be mailed, it is saved
19       in the file dead.fvwm-bug in the invoking user's home directory.
20
21       The bug report format outline consists of several sections.  The  first
22       section  provides  information about the machine, operating system, the
23       fvwm version, and the  compilation  environment.   The  second  section
24       should  be  filled in with a description of the bug.  The third section
25       should be a description of how to  reproduce  the  bug.   The  optional
26       fourth section is for a proposed fix.  Fixes are encouraged.
