   Bug report  HOWTO
  - - - - - - - - - -
 
- * General rules
-
-   - Be sure the problem you are reporting is not already known, or
-  maybe even already solved. Source of information include the BUGS
-  file, the mailing-list archives at http://www.via.ecp.fr/ml/videolan/
-  and your old friend Google.
-
-   - Be sure to be using a recent version. Bug reports against old
-  versions of vlc are likely to be ignored, because changes in the
-  program may make it impossible to reproduce the bug, or may even have
-  fixed it.
-
-   - Give as many details as possible about your problem! Better too
-  much than not enough.
-
-   - Don't forget to say which version of vlc you are using (0.2.91,
-  CVS snapshot from 21 Dec 2001, Debian packages 0.2.92-4). It is
-  important to tell us where you got the packages from (web site, CVS,
-  distribution).
-
-   - Also, your platform is very important. vlc runs on a lot of
-  different operating systems, so you should at least provide your
-  operating system name and version (Windows 98, Debian Linux woody,
-  BeOS, ...) and your CPU (Pentium 3, Sparc, PowerPC, ...).
-
-
- * Reporting a ./configure or make issue
-
-   - Give the full log showing the problem:
-      ./configure <options> > logfile.txt 2>&1
-      make 2>&1 > logfile.txt 2>&1
-
-   - When dealing with a ./configure issue, please provide the generated
-  config.log file.
-
-   - Your compiler brand and version may be relevant here as well.
-
-
- * Reporting a crash
-
-   - Try to reproduce the crash and to explain how you reproduced it.
-
-   - A gdb backtrace can be useful. For it to have any meaning, vlc
-  should have been compiled with debug symbols (add the --enable-debug
-  flag to ./configure)
-
-
- * Where to send bug reports?
-
-   - Use the Bugzilla interface at http://bugzilla.videolan.org/. If you
-  do not want to leave your email address, just use "guest" as both the
-  username and password. You will not be notified about the evolution of
-  your bug though.
-
-   - The vlc-devel mailing-list is also a good place to discuss issues
-  with all developers, but bug reports are better sent to Bugzilla.
