How to report bugs ------------------ If you think you've got a bug (or you are sure about it =), please report it to msnlib-devel@auriga.wearlab.de; specifying: * msnlib version * python version * operating system information * platform information * obviously, a bug description Now, depending on what's the bug about, i'd like you to to include some of these: * a copy of the output when the bug hits (see below for a complete to do this) * reports on other versions (does this happens with an older version?) * instructions on how to reproduce it * terminal information (ie. running under normal console, some kind of xterm, cygwin terminal, beos one, etc.) * an strace -tt of the session * the debug output On these last two, they're oftenly quite useful. Just in case you don't know how to do it, a nice way of doing both at the same time and save to files (which then you can send to me as attachments) is: * first, add 'debug = yes' to $HOME/.msn/msnrc; that enables debugging output * then, run the command: strace -tt -o msn_output-strace msn 2>msn_output-debug | tee msn_output-stdout and try to reproduce the bug, or just wait for it to happen =) Then, when reporting, send me these 3 files (msn_output-strace, msn_output-debug, and msn_output-stdout), compressed if necesary. They are really helpful, because I can see what's going on when the bug happened.
