<h1 class="appendix">Appendix A Reporting Bugs</h1> <p>Please report all bugs you find in Bash. But first, you should make sure that it really is a bug, and that it appears in the latest version of Bash. The latest version of Bash is always available for FTP from <a href="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/">ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/</a> and from <a href="http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/snapshot/bash-master.tar.gz">http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/snapshot/bash-master.tar.gz</a>. </p> <p>Once you have determined that a bug actually exists, use the <code>bashbug</code> command to submit a bug report. If you have a fix, you are encouraged to mail that as well! Suggestions and ‘philosophical’ bug reports may be mailed to <a href="mailto:bug-bash@gnu.org">bug-bash@gnu.org</a> or posted to the Usenet newsgroup <code>gnu.bash.bug</code>. </p> <p>All bug reports should include: </p>
<ul> <li> The version number of Bash. </li>
<li> The hardware and operating system. </li>
<li> The compiler used to compile Bash. </li>
<li> A description of the bug behaviour. </li>
<li> A short script or ‘recipe’ which exercises the bug and may be used to reproduce it. </li>
</ul> <p><code>bashbug</code> inserts the first three items automatically into the template it provides for filing a bug report. </p> <p>Please send all reports concerning this manual to <a href="mailto:bug-bash@gnu.org">bug-bash@gnu.org</a>. </p><div class="_attribution">
