115 | +<h3>Reporting Bugs</h3> | |
116 | +<p>After discussing an issue on the mailing‑list, | |
117 | +as described above, you may be asked to file a formal bug report. | |
118 | +(Alternatively, | |
119 | +if you are certain that you have identified a bug in a MinGW.org product, | |
120 | +you may choose to file such a bug report of your own volition; | |
121 | +however, if you choose this course of action, | |
122 | +please be aware that many bug reports, | |
123 | +which are filed <em>without</em> prior discussion, | |
124 | +are ultimately dismissed as user error). | |
125 | +</p> | |
126 | +<p><em>Before you even consider filing a bug report, | |
127 | +please review | |
128 | +<a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" | |
129 | + href="https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/ticket/" | |
130 | +>the list of existing tickets</a>, | |
131 | +(<strong>including closed tickets</strong> | |
132 | +— ensure that the “Open” and “Closed” | |
133 | +status check‑boxes are <strong>both</strong> selected, | |
134 | +and click the “Search” button), | |
135 | +to ensure that the issue has not already been reported</em>. | |
136 | +</p> | |
137 | +<p><em>Please <strong>do not</strong> file a bug report, | |
138 | +if your issue relates to an unimplemented API feature; | |
139 | +it is more appropriate to file | |
140 | +a “<a href="#feature-request">Feature Request</a>” instead</em>. | |
141 | +</p> | |
142 | +<p><em>Please do not waste your time, (and ours), | |
143 | +reporting issues with your anti‑virus software; | |
144 | +the heuristic nature of such software, all too frequently, | |
145 | +results in false‑positive reports, | |
146 | +and in the absence of deterministic evidence of infection, | |
147 | +we will take no action in response.</em> | |
148 | +</p> | |
149 | +<p>Regardless of your motivation for filing a bug report, | |
150 | +you <em>must</em>, (unless you already have one), | |
151 | +<em><a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" | |
152 | + href="https://osdn.net/account/register.php" | |
153 | +>create a personal OSDN.net account</a></em>, | |
154 | +and you should also | |
155 | +<em><a target="_blank" href="index.html?page=buginfo.html" | |
156 | +>acquaint yourself with the bug reporting guidelines</a></em>. | |
157 | +You may then | |
158 | +<em><a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" | |
159 | + href="https://osdn.net/account/login.php?return_to=/ticket/newticket.php?group_id=3917" | |
160 | +>log in to your OSDN.net account</a></em>, | |
161 | +and proceed to | |
162 | +<em><a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" | |
163 | + href="https://osdn.net/ticket/newticket.php?group_id=3917" | |
164 | +>the bug report submission form</a></em>. | |
165 | +Please review the submission instructions, | |
166 | +(which appear at the top of the submission form), | |
167 | +then complete the form, | |
168 | +leaving the ticket type set to “Issue”. | |
169 | +</p> | |
170 | +<p><em>Please <strong>do not</strong> ignore the submission instructions. | |
171 | +In particular, note that, | |
172 | +unless you are a member of the MinGW.org Project development team, | |
173 | +you are <strong>not</strong> authorized to assign a specific responder | |
174 | +for the ticket; nor are you authorized to assign an elevated priority | |
175 | +or severity attribute for your ticket. | |
176 | +If you exceed your authority, | |
177 | +your ticket <strong>will</strong> be reassigned to <strong>lowest</strong> | |
178 | +priority/severity, and may even be rejected altogether</em>. | |
179 | +</p> | |
180 | +<p>Before you finally submit your report, | |
181 | +please use the “Preview” facility to check for, | |
182 | +and correct, any markup errors; | |
183 | +(these are, alas, all too common, | |
184 | +and create a bad impression of the reporter). | |
185 | +Finally, when you are satisfied, click the “Submit” button | |
186 | +to complete the ticket submission process. | |
187 | +</p></div><!-- bug-report --> | |
188 | +<div id="feature-request"> | |
189 | +<h3>Feature Requests</h3> | |
190 | +<p>When you wish to request the implementation of a new feature, | |
191 | +(e.g. to support a currently unsupported MSVC or POSIX API function), | |
192 | +you should file a feature request ticket. | |
193 | +The procedure is effectively the same as that for | |
194 | +<a href="#bug-report">filing a bug report</a>, | |
195 | +<em>except</em> that you set the ticket type to “Feature Request”, | |
196 | +instead of leaving it as “Issue”. | |
197 | +</p> | |
198 | +<p><em>Please be aware that feature request submissions are subject | |
199 | +to the same restrictions on your authority, | |
200 | +as are applicable to <a href="#bug-report">bug reporting</a></em>. | |
201 | +</p> | |
202 | +<p>Before you submit a feature request, | |
203 | +it is recommended that you discuss the feasibility of implementing | |
204 | +the proposed feature, as a <a href="#general-enquiry">general enquiry topic</a>, | |
205 | +on the mailing‑list. | |
206 | +Additionally, <em>after</em> you have submitted such a request, | |
207 | +you should use the mailing‑list to bring it to the | |
208 | +attention of the MinGW user community, | |
209 | +and invite them to support your request, | |
210 | +by <em>voting</em> on your ticket; | |
211 | +(please note that MinGW developers will consider votes, | |
212 | +when prioritizing feature requests). | |

172 | +<h3>Historical Mailing‑List Archives</h3> | |
173 | +<p>In earlier days of the project history, | |
174 | +the volume of mailing‑list traffic was significantly greater | |
175 | +than it is today. | |
176 | +This traffic was distributed over five topic‑specific | |
177 | +mailing‑lists, of which only the two identified above | |
178 | +remain operational today; | |
179 | +the other three historical lists, which are identified below, | |
180 | +are now closed, and it is no longer possible to subscribe, | |
181 | +or to post messages to them. | |
182 | +However, archives of historical postings remain | |
183 | +<a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" | |
184 | + href="https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/mailman/" | |
185 | +>available on SourceForge.net</a>, | |

249 | +<h3>Mailing‑List Posting Etiquette</h3> | |
250 | +<p>MinGW is an open source project. | |
251 | +As such, it is heavily dependent on people who dedicate | |
252 | +their spare time to the goals and continuing development of the project, | |
253 | +so please keep this in mind when posting to the mailing‑list. | |
254 | +</p> | |
255 | +<p>Before you post, you are advised to | |
256 | +acquaint yourself with the following commonly accepted guidelines, | |
257 | +with which you are strongly encouraged to comply, | |
258 | +when composing your posts. | |
259 | +Failure to comply with these guidelines may result | |
260 | +in your posts being ignored by a number of knowledgeable people, | |
261 | +and repeated offenses may even lead to your posts being vetted, | |
262 | +and potentially rejected, by the list moderator. | |
263 | +</p> | |
264 | +<ul style="padding-right: 1em"> | |
265 | +<li>The language of the lists is <em><strong>English</strong></em> ; | |
266 | +if you post in any other language, you are unlikely to elicit a response. | |
267 | +</li> | |
268 | +<li><em><strong>Do search</strong></em> the mailing list archives, | |
269 | +(both the current archives, and those of the historical topic‑specific | |
270 | +lists), before posting, (see the links associated with each of the lists above); | |
271 | +many questions have already been asked and answered. | |
272 | +</li> | |
273 | +<li><em><strong>Do use</strong></em> | |
274 | +a <em><strong>meaningful</strong></em> subject line. | |
275 | +A subject line should include a pertinent few words summarizing | |
276 | +the subject of the email; | |
277 | +(when one replies to emails, | |
278 | +one should always make certain the subject line of the email is still | |
279 | +relevant to the reply). | |
280 | +In particular, if you receive list mail in digest format, | |
281 | +<em><strong>do always</strong></em> | |
282 | +set the subject back to the original text, | |
283 | +from the message to which you are replying. | |
284 | +<em><strong>Do not</strong></em> reply with a subject of | |
285 | +<em>“Re: MinGW-??? Digest no. ???”</em>; | |
286 | +such replies are prime candidates for deletion, without being read. | |
287 | +</li> | |
288 | +<li><em><strong>Do post</strong></em> in a MIME format with | |
289 | +<em>“Content-Type: text</em>/<em>plain”</em>. | |
290 | +<em><strong>Do not</strong></em> post as HTML, or in any other MIME format, | |
291 | +(and in particular, <em><strong>do not</strong></em> use multi-part MIME, | |
292 | +with plain text duplicated as HTML); | |
293 | +some list subscribers are unable to, or choose not to read such mail, | |
294 | +and will be unable or unwilling to answer you. | |
295 | +</li> | |
296 | +<li><em><strong>Do not</strong></em> | |
297 | +post messages with very long lines of text; | |
298 | +except when pasting screenshots, where line wrapping might lead to confusion, | |
299 | +ensure that lines of running text are wrapped with hard line breaks, | |
300 | +at a length of between 65 and 72 characters. | |
301 | +</li> | |
302 | +<li><em><strong>Do quote</strong></em> sections of the original text, | |
303 | +and <em><strong>interleave</strong></em> your replies to individual points, | |
304 | +<em><strong>below</strong></em> the relevant context. | |
305 | +<em><strong>Do not</strong></em> | |
306 | +<a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" | |
307 | + href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_post" | |
308 | +>top-post</a>; | |
309 | +(this | |

312 | +>treatise</a> | |
313 | +explains why top-posting is considered unacceptable). | |
314 | +</li> | |
315 | +<li><em><strong>Do trim out</strong></em> sections of the original mail, | |
316 | +which are not required to establish the context of your reply. | |
317 | +(Once more, | |
318 | +this is particularly important when replying to mail received in digest form; | |
319 | +<em><strong>do reply</strong></em> | |
320 | +to <em><strong>one subject at a time</strong></em>, | |
321 | +and <em><strong>do remove</strong></em> all content related to other subjects). | |
322 | +<em><strong>Do not</strong></em> persistently recycle irrelevant junk, | |
323 | +quoted from earlier messages in the thread. | |
324 | +</li> | |
325 | +<li><em><strong>Do not</strong></em> | |
326 | +include <em>“legal mumble”</em> signatures. | |
327 | +You are posting to a list that will be read by thousands of users, | |
328 | +and anything you say will be archived in the public domain; | |
329 | +in this context, such drivel in your signature is neither enforceable, | |
330 | +nor meaningful. | |
331 | +</li> | |
332 | +<li><em><strong>Do not hijack</strong></em> an existing topic thread, | |
333 | +when you wish to introduce an unrelated subject; | |
334 | +(i.e. <em><strong>do not</strong></em> reply to an existing message, | |
335 | +when your reply is unrelated to the original subject). | |
336 | +When you want to introduce a new topic, plainly start a new thread, | |
337 | +(i.e. a completely new message). | |
338 | +Replying in an existing thread confuses mail readers | |
339 | +and humans who are trying to participate in the original discussion; | |
340 | +it is a sure way to irritate other subscribers, | |
341 | +and will likely get you ignored, | |
342 | +if not even black-listed. | |
