-<p>You can also use our <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=7586">

-<h1>What to do about Boost bugs</h1>
-
-<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://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html#CVS">boost public
- CVS repository</a>.<br>
-<br>
- </li>
- <li>If you are a Boost user, or a Boost developer that doesn't have a CVS
- write access: <br>
-<br>
- <ol>
- <li>Submit a bug report to either
- boost-users list,
- <a href="http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#main">boost mailing
- list</a>, or our <a href="http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/report">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;<br>
-<br>
- </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 CVS 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>:<br>
-<br>
- <ol>
- <li>Download the latest version of <code>intentional_bug.hpp</code> from CVS.</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 &gt; 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 <b>patch</b> or <b>bug</b>
-in the subject if you're submitting to the boost mailing list.<br>
- <br>
-</li>
- </ol>
-
- </li>
-
- </ol>
- </li>
- <li>If you are a Boost developer, and you have a CVS write access: <br>
-<br>
- <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 CVS, but post a notification about it to the
- <a href="http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#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); <br>
-<br>
- </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; <br>
-<br>
- </li>
- <li>Otherwise, create a temporary branch in CVS, 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>
- </ol>
- </li>
