Reporting Bugs
==============

  We welcome bug reports and suggestions for any aspect of the Texinfo
system, programs, documentation, installation, anything.  Please email
them to <bug-texinfo@gnu.org>.  You can get the latest version of
Texinfo from `ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/' and its mirrors worldwide.

  For bug reports, please include enough information for the maintainers
to reproduce the problem.  Generally speaking, that means:

   * the version number of Texinfo and the program(s) or manual(s)
     involved.

   * hardware, operating system, and compiler versions.

   * any unusual options you gave to `configure'.

   * the contents of any input files necessary to reproduce the bug.

   * a description of the problem and samples of any erroneous output.

   * anything else that you think would be helpful.

  When in doubt whether something is needed or not, include it.  It's
better to include too much than to leave out something important.

  Patches are most welcome; if possible, please make them with
`diff -c' (Note: Overview.) and include `ChangeLog'
entries (Note: Change Log.).

  When sending patches, if possible please do not encode or split them
in any way; it's much easier to deal with one plain text message,
however large, than many small ones.  GNU shar
(ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/sharutils/) is a convenient way of packaging
multiple and/or binary files for email.
