+ <h1>What to do about Boost bugs</h1>
+ </div>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>Make sure the bug isn't already fixed in the latest
+ sources. The most recent version of everything on the Boost web
+ site is available from the <a href=
+ "http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BoostSubversion" class=
+ "external">boost public subversion repository</a>.</li>
+
+ <li>If you are a Boost user, or a Boost developer that doesn't
+ have subversion write access:
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>Submit a bug report to either <a href=
+ "/community/groups.html#users">boost-users list</a>,
+ <a href="/community/groups.html#main">boost mailing
+ list</a>, or our <a href=
+ "http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/report" class=
+ "external">bug tracking facility</a>; submitting it to
+ either of the mailing lists is a preferred way - because
+ many of the Boost developers read the lists on a daily
+ basis, this way you are likely to get a quicker response,
+ and the discussions that often arise there from (possible)
+ bug reports are quite interesting and educational as
+ well;</li>
+
+ <li>If you have a proposed patch to the code, post it along
+ with your bug report, preferably in the <em>unified
+ diffs</em> format (<code>cvs diff -du</code>); if you can,
+ send a patch relative to the current subversion state. A
+ canonical example of creating a patch file follows (let's
+ assume that you've found a bug in the file
+ <code>intentional_bug.hpp</code>:
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>Download the latest version of
+ <code>intentional_bug.hpp</code> from subversion.</li>
+
+ <li>Make sure that the bug is still present in the
+ code.</li>
+
+ <li>Copy the file <code>intentional_bug.hpp</code> to a
+ file called <code>intentional_bug.hpp.orig</code>.</li>
+
+ <li>Apply your changes to
+ <code>intentional_bug.hpp</code>.</li>
+
+ <li>Run "<code>diff -du intentional_bug.hpp.orig
+ intentional_bug.hpp >
+ intentional_bug.hpp.patch</code>" from the command
+ prompt.</li>
+
+ <li>Submit the patch file together with an explanation
+ of the bug and the proposed fix; and don't forget to
+ include the word <strong>patch</strong> or
+ <strong>bug</strong> in the subject if you're
+ submitting to the <a href=
+ "/community/groups.html#main">boost mailing
+ list</a>.</li>
+ </ol>
+ </li>
+ </ol>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>If you are a Boost developer, and you have subversion write
+ access:
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>If the bug is trivial (e.g. misspelled name, missed
+ <code>typename</code>, etc.), and you are willing to make a
+ fix, either make your changes locally and contact the
+ library author(s)/maintainer(s) about it, or go ahead and
+ check the fix into subversion, but post a notification
+ about it to the <a href="/community/groups.html#main">boost
+ mailing list</a> (if the author is not very active on the
+ list, you also might want to consider <code>cc</code>'ing
+ him as well);</li>
+
+ <li>If the bug is non-trivial, and/or you don't have the
+ time and resources to fix it, submit a bug report (see p. 2
+ above); chances are that the maintainer(s) will respond
+ promptly and take care of the problem;</li>
+
+ <li>Otherwise, create a temporary branch in subversion,
+ make your changes there, and ask the library
+ author(s)/maintainer(s) to review them; if they are ok with
+ the new code, either you or they can integrate the fixes
+ into the main trunk.</li>
