Reporting Bugs

We welcome bug reports or suggestions for the Texinfo system, both programs and documentation. Please email them to [email protected]. You can get the latest version of Texinfo from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/ and its mirrors worldwide.

For bug reports, please include enough information for the maintainers to reproduce the problem. Generally speaking, that means:

• the version number of Texinfo and the program(s) or manual(s) involved.
• hardware, operating system, and compiler versions.
• any unusual options you gave to @command{configure}.
• the contents of any input files necessary to reproduce the bug.
• a description of the problem and samples of any erroneous output.
• anything else that you think would be helpful.

When in doubt whether something is needed or not, include it. It's better to include too much than to leave out something important.

Patches are most welcome; if possible, please make them with `diff -c' (see section `Overview' in Comparing and Merging Files) and include `ChangeLog' entries (see section `Change Log' in The GNU Emacs Manual).

When sending email, please do not encode or split the messages in any way if possible; it's much easier to deal with one plain text message, however large, than many small ones. GNU shar is a convenient way of packaging multiple and/or binary files for email.
