Bug Tracker
Well, bugs or missing features are always possible, and I will make a
point of fixing them in a timely fashion. The best way to report a bug is to
use the
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=libxml2
Gnome
bug tracking database
(make sure to use the "libxml2" module name). I
look at reports there regularly and it's good to have a reminder when a bug
is still open. Be sure to specify that the bug is for the package libxml2.
For small problems you can try to get help on IRC, the #xml channel on
irc.gnome.org (port 6667) usually have a few person subscribed which may help
(but there is no garantee and if a real issue is raised it should go on the
mailing-list for archival).
There is also a mailing-list
mailto:xml@gnome.org
xml@gnome.org
for libxml, with an
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/
on-line archive
(
http://xmlsoft.org/messages
old
). To subscribe to this list,
please visit the
http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
associated Web
page and
follow the instructions.
Do not send code, I won't debug it
(but patches are really appreciated!).
Please note that with the current amount of virus and SPAM, sending mail
to the list without being subscribed won't work. There is *far too many
bounces* (in the order of a thousand a day !) I cannot approve them manually
anymore. If your mail to the list bounced waiting for administrator approval,
it is LOST ! Repost it and fix the problem triggering the error.
Check the following
before
posting
:
Read the
FAQ.html
FAQ
and
search.php
use the
search engine
to get information related to your problem.
Make sure you are
ftp://xmlsoft.org/
using a recent
version
, and that the problem still shows up in a recent version.
Check the
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/
list
archives
to see if the problem was reported already. In this case
there is probably a fix available, similarly check the
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=libxml2
registered
open bugs
.
Make sure you can reproduce the bug with xmllint or one of the test
programs found in source in the distribution.
Please send the command showing the error as well as the input (as an
attachment)
Then send the bug with associated information to reproduce it to the
mailto:xml@gnome.org
xml@gnome.org
list; if it's really libxml
related I will approve it. Please do not send mail to me directly, it makes
things really hard to track and in some cases I am not the best person to
answer a given question, ask on the list.
To
be really clear about support
:
Support or help
requests MUST be sent to
the list or on bugzilla
in case of problems, so that the Question
and Answers can be shared publicly. Failing to do so carries the implicit
message "I want free support but I don't want to share the benefits with
others" and is not welcome. I will automatically Carbon-Copy the
xml@gnome.org mailing list for any technical reply made about libxml2 or
libxslt.
There is
no garantee of support
, if
your question remains unanswered after a week, repost it, making sure you
gave all the detail needed and the information requested.
Failing to provide information as requested or double checking first
for prior feedback also carries the implicit message "the time of the
library maintainers is less valuable than my time" and might not be
welcome.
Of course, bugs reported with a suggested patch for fixing them will
probably be processed faster than those without.
If you're looking for help, a quick look at
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/
the list archive
may actually
provide the answer. I usually send source samples when answering libxml2
usage questions. The
http://xmlsoft.org/html/book1.html
auto-generated documentation
is
not as polished as I would like (i need to learn more about DocBook), but
it's a good starting point.
