How to report bugs

- How to report bugs -

Please report bugs to bugzilla, the Apache bug - database. A copy of your bug report is sent automatically to the discussion list fop-dev@xml.apache.org.

Please make sure, before you report a bug, that it is not mentioned in the FAQ or - in the list of open bugs at bugzilla.

Please make your description as concise as possible and add an example fo - file with your report, which just demonstrates the problem. Thanks for your help!

+ Reporting New Bugs +

User reports of bugs and requests for enhancements are extremely +important parts of FOP development, and we appreciate the time you take to help +us track these issues down. +To help us ensure that the bug database is as useful as it should be, please +use the following checklist if you are considering reporting a new bug:

Is your issue really a request to comply with some aspect of the +XSL-FO standard? +If so, please do not enter a bug report. +The developers already carefully track which standard requirements have been +implemented. +Other enhancement requests are welcome (although they are not technically +"bugs", they are entered and tracked in the same system -- just be sure to mark +the issue as an enhancement).
Is your issue addressed by an FAQ? If so, please do not +enter a bug report unless the FAQ did not adequately address your issue.
Has this bug already been reported? +See section above for a list of bugs that have already been reported. +If the bug has already been reported, please do not open a new bug report. +Reporting the same bug twice will only slow the development team down. +However, if you have insight that may help developers track an existing problem, +please add comments and/or file attachments to the existing bug.
Do you know how to write a good bug report? +Please review the +Apache Bug +Writing Guidelines before submitting your report.
If, and only if, you have passed all of the above steps, please +enter a new bug report at +The +FOP bug database (Bugzilla). +You will be asked to login to an existing Bugzilla account or to create a new +one. +When entering the bug report, please make your description complete and concise. +If appropriate, attach a minimal fo file to your report which demonstrates the +problem.
After submission, a copy of your bug report will be automatically +sent to the FOP developer discussion list.
