NAME

fvwm-bug - report a bug in fvwm

SYNOPSIS

fvwm-bug [--help] [--version] [address]

DESCRIPTION

fvwm-bug is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug
reports concerning fvwm in a standard format. fvwm-bug invokes the
editor specified by the environment variable EDITOR on a temporary
copy of the bug report format outline. The user must fill in the
appropriate fields and exit the editor. fvwm-bug then mails the
completed report to the local fvwm maintainer, the fvwm workers list
fvwm-workers@fvwm.org, or address. If the report cannot be mailed,
it is saved in the file dead.fvwm-bug in the invoking user's home
directory.

The bug report format outline consists of several sections. The
first section provides information about the machine, operating
system, the fvwm version, and the compilation environment. The
second section should be filled in with a description of the bug.
The third section should be a description of how to reproduce the
bug. The optional fourth section is for a proposed fix. Fixes are
encouraged.

ENVIRONMENT

fvwm-bug will utilize the following environment variables if they
exist:

EDITOR Specifies the preferred editor. If EDITOR is not set, fvwm-bug
defaults to emacs.

HOME Directory in which the failed bug report is saved if the mail
fails.
