5 Reporting bugs

To report bugs or suggest enhancements for GNU RCS, please visit its homepage (http://www.gnu.org/software/rcs/) to find directions on how to “file a bug report” online, or send electronic mail to help-rcs@gnu.org. (If you use the web interface, you don’t need to also send email, since that is done automatically.)

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

• The RCS version, command(s) and manual section(s) involved.
• Hardware and operating system names and versions.
• The contents of any input files necessary to reproduce the bug.
• The expected behavior and/or output.
• A description of the problem and samples of any erroneous output.
• Options you gave to configure other than specifying installation directories.
• 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 welcome; if possible, please make them with ‘git format-patch’ and include ChangeLog entries (see Change Log in The GNU Emacs Manual). Please follow the existing coding style.
