I think I found a bug in BusyBox! What should I do?

- If you find a problem with BusyBox, please submit a detailed bug report to - the BusyBox mailing list at - busybox@mail.busybox.net. Please do not send private email to Erik - (the maintainer of BusyBox) asking for private help unless you are planning - on paying for consulting services. When we answer questions on the BusyBox - mailing list, it helps everyone, while private answers help only you... -

- - If you find bugs, please submit a detailed bug report to the BusyBox mailing - list at busybox@mail.busybox.net. A well-written bug report should include a - transcript of a shell session that demonstrates the bad behavior and enables - anyone else to duplicate the bug on their own machine. The following is such - an example: - -

-	To: busybox@mail.busybox.net
-	From: diligent@testing.linux.org
-	Subject: /bin/date doesn't work
-
-	Package: BusyBox
-	Version: 1.00
-
-	When I execute BusyBox 'date' it produces unexpected results.
-	With GNU date I get the following output:
+

 
-		$ date
-		Fri Oct  8 14:19:41 MDT 2004
+    If you simply need help with using or configuring BusyBox, please submit a
+    detailed description of your problem to the BusyBox mailing list at  busybox@mail.busybox.net.
+    Please do not send private email to Erik (the maintainer of BusyBox) asking
+    for private help unless you are planning on paying for consulting services.
+    When we answer questions on the BusyBox mailing list, it helps everyone,
+    while private answers help only you...
 
-	But when I use BusyBox date I get this instead:
+    

 
-		$ date
-		illegal instruction
+    The developers of BusyBox are busy people, and have only so much they can
+    keep in their brains at a time.  As a result, bug reports sometimes get
+    lost when posted to the mailing list.  To prevent your bug report from
+    getting lost, if you find a bug in BusyBox, please use the BusyBox Bug and Patch Tracking System
+    to submit a detailed bug report.
 
-	I am using Debian unstable, kernel version 2.4.27 on a x86 system,
-	and the latest uClibc from CVS.  Thanks for the wonderful program!

+ The same also applies to patches... Regardless of whether your patch is a + bug fix or adds shiney new features, please post your patch to the BusyBox Bug and Patch Tracking System + to make certain it is properly considered. - Note the careful description and use of examples showing not only what BusyBox - does, but also a counter example showing what an equivalent GNU app does. Bug - reports lacking proper detail may never be fixed... Thanks for understanding.
