ccmode: Mailing Lists and Bug Reports
Appendix F Mailing Lists and Submitting Bug Reports
***************************************************
To report bugs, use the ‘C-c C-b’ (bound to ‘c-submit-bug-report’)
command. This provides vital information we need to reproduce your
problem. Make sure you include a concise, but complete code example.
Please try to boil your example down to just the essential code needed
to reproduce the problem, and include an exact recipe of steps needed to
expose the bug. Be especially sure to include any code that appears
_before_ your bug example, if you think it might affect our ability to
reproduce it.
Please try to produce the problem in an Emacs instance without any
customizations loaded (i.e., start it with the ‘-q --no-site-file’
arguments). If it works correctly there, the problem might be caused by
faulty customizations in either your own or your site configuration. In
that case, we’d appreciate it if you isolate the Emacs Lisp code that
triggers the bug and include it in your report.
Reporting a bug using ‘c-submit-bug-report’ files it in the GNU Bug
Tracker at <http://debbugs.gnu.org>, then sends it on to
<bug-cc-mode@gnu.org>. You can also send reports, other questions, and
suggestions (kudos? ;-) to that address. It’s a mailing list which you
can join or browse an archive of; see the web site at
<http://cc-mode.sourceforge.net/> for further details.
If you want to get announcements of new CC Mode releases, send the
word _subscribe_ in the body of a message to
<cc-mode-announce-request@lists.sourceforge.net>. It’s possible to
subscribe from the web site too. Announcements will also be posted to
the Usenet newsgroups ‘gnu.emacs.sources’, ‘comp.emacs’,
‘comp.emacs.xemacs’, ‘comp.lang.c’, ‘comp.lang.c++’,
‘comp.lang.objective-c’, ‘comp.lang.java.softwaretools’,
‘comp.lang.idl’, and ‘comp.lang.awk’.
