|
|
28 .SH DESCRIPTION |
|
|
29 .B octave-bug |
|
|
30 is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug reports |
|
|
31 concerning Octave in a standard format. |
|
|
32 .B octave-bug |
|
|
33 is typically invoked by the Octave command |
|
|
34 .B bug_report |
|
|
35 which is intended to be called interactively from within Octave. This |
|
|
36 provides the best way to submit a bug report for Octave. It creates a |
|
|
37 template bug report file and starts an editor on that file. The bug report |
|
|
38 will be sent to the bug-octave mailing list once the editing has been |
|
|
39 completed (this assumes of course that your system can use email). However, |
|
|
40 the user could also call \fBoctave-bug\fR outside of Octave. |
|
|
41 .PP |
|
|
42 Please read the `Bugs' chapter in the Octave manual to find out how to submit |
|
|
43 a bug report that will enable the Octave maintainers to fix the problem. If |
|
|
44 you are unable to use the bug_report command, send your message to the |
|
5041
|
45 bug-octave mailing list, bug@octave.org. |
