tramp: Bug Reports

 
 6 Reporting Bugs and Problems
 *****************************
 
 TRAMP’s development team is actively engaged in solving bugs and
 problems and looks to feature requests and suggestions.
 
    TRAMP’s mailing list is the place for more advice and information on
 working with TRAMP, solving problems, discussing, and general
 discussions about TRAMP.
 
    TRAMP’s mailing list is moderated but even non-subscribers can post
 for moderator approval.  Sometimes this approval step may take as long
 as 48 hours due to public holidays.
 
    <tramp-devel@gnu.org> is the mailing list.  Messages sent to this
 address go to all the subscribers.  This is _not_ the address to send
 subscription requests to.
 
    To subscribe to the mailing list, visit: the TRAMP Mail Subscription
 Page (http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel/).
 
    Check if the bug or problem is already addressed in Frequently
 Asked Questions.
 
    Run ‘M-x tramp-bug’ to generate a buffer with details of the system
 along with the details of the TRAMP installation.  Please include these
 details with the bug report.
 
    The bug report must describe in as excruciating detail as possible
 the steps required to reproduce the problem.  These details must include
 the setup of the remote host and any special or unique conditions that
 exist.
 
    Include a minimal test case that reproduces the problem.  This will
 help the development team find the best solution and avoid unrelated
 detours.
 
    To exclude cache-related problems, flush all caches before running
 the test, Cleanup remote connections.
 
    When including TRAMP’s messages in the bug report, increase the
 verbosity level to 6 (Traces Traces and Profiles.) in the
 ‘~/.emacs’ file before repeating steps to the bug.  Include the contents
 of the ‘*tramp/foo*’ and ‘*debug tramp/foo*’ buffers with the bug
 report.
 
    *Note* that a verbosity level greater than 6 is not necessary at this-NEWLINE- stage.  Also note that a verbosity level of 6 or greater, the contents
 of files and directories will be included in the debug buffer.
 Passwords typed in TRAMP will never be included there.
