REPORTING BUGS -------------- Please submit bug reports via the sourceforge bug tracker interface at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=612&atid=100612 where you can review the previously submitted bug reports. Click on "Add new" to generate a bug report. If you do not already have a sourceforge.net account, you will need to get one to submit the report: http://sourceforge.net/account/registration/ Please provide a way for the PDL developers to contact you regarding the problem. Try to include any information you think might help someone isolate, reproduce, and fix your problem. At a *minimum*, include the following information: * PDL version number (e.g. PDL-2.4.7) * Perl version information (output from "perl -v" or "perl -V", even better!) * Operating System (run the "uname -a" command on many unix systems) * If you are reporting a bug with an installed PDL, please include the full output of "perldl -V" If the PDL has compiled and built but not been installed, you may run "perl -Mblib perldl -V" from the top level of the PDL build directory. * The bug description and how to reproduce it. Short examples using the PDL shell, pdl2 (or perldl), are excellent! Other things that are often helpful: * Details about your operating environment that might be related to the problem * Exact cut and pasted error or warning messages * The shortest, clearest code you can manage to write which reproduces the bug described. * A patch against the latest released version of this distribution which fixes this bug. Alternatively, send an e-mail report with the above information (including the output of 'perldl -V') to pdl-porters@jach.hawaii.edu . See http://pdl.sourceforge.net/maillists/ for info on how to subscribe to this list. BEFORE YOU SEND A REPORT ------------------------ BEFORE you report a bug make sure you got the latest release version of PDL (always available from CPAN, check http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=PDL). Also check the FAQ (http://pdl.sourceforge.net/FAQ) and the mailing list archives for hints. You can find links to the searchable archives at http://pdl.sourceforge.net/maillists/ PATCHES ------- Patches can be sent to the pdl-porters mailing list (see above) or can be directly submitted to the patch manager http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=300612&group_id=612 Patches should be made against the latest released PDL or, ideally, against the current git sources which you can browse and check out at git://pdl.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pdl/pdl Thanks, The pdl-porters team.
