8 Submitting a bug

When you have problems or you think you have found a bug, please follow strictly this iter:

  1. Update to the most recent version of FreePOPs.
  2. Try to reproduce the bug, if the bug is not easily reproducible we are out of luck. Something can still be tried: if the software crashed you could compile it from the sources, install valgrind, run freepopsd with valgrind and hope the error messages are interesting.
  3. Clean the log files
  4. Start FreePOPs with the -w switch
  5. Reproduce the bug
  6. Send to the developers the log, plus any other info like your system type and how to reproduce this bug.
