There are total of 3 bug type categories, the procedure depends on
what kind of bug you are dealing with. With all bug types you should
always append the following information to E-mails sent to
equ@equnet.org

- oer version
- Operating System & version (type "uname -a" in console)

Packaging, configure, compilation & installation bugs
-----------------------------------------------------

If there is something wrong with the oer package, send a E-mail to
equ@equnet.org with subject "oer bug report: packaging". In the
message part let me know what the problem is.

If you think you have found a problem with "configure" send a E-mail
to equ@equnet.org with subject "oer bug report: configure" and attach
console output of configure run, config.log and config.status to the
E-mail.

If there is a compiling or installation bug send the console output to
equ@equnet.org with subject "oer bug report: compile & installation".

Operational bug
---------------

If you think oer missbehaves in some way but doesn't crash,
configure & compile oer with "--enable-debug". Then start oer
with "./oer -c -d 9 -o". Send the oer-<pid>.output via E-mail to
equ@equnet.org with the subject "oer bug report: operational".

Fatal bug
---------

If oer terminates unexpectedly proceed as follows.

First off, configure & compile oer with the following options:

--enable-debug --disable-opt

Then make sure that your command shell allows core dumps:

limit coredumpsize 10000 (bash)
ulimit -c 10000          (csh/tcsh)

Then start oer with "./oer -c -d 9 -o" so that all debug information
is sent both to the default output and written to
oer-<pid>.output. After oer terminates start gdb by writing
"gdb oer core" and then get a backtrace by writing "bt" and
pressing enter. Send both, the oer-<pid>.output and the backtrace
to equ@equnet.org with the subject "oer bug report: fatal".

Other types of bugs
------------------- 

If the bug/problem you are dealing with doesn't belong to any of
the above bug categories, send a E-mail to equ@equnet.org with
subject "oer bug report: unknown" and describe the bug/problem.

        Thank you in advance
