1.1 Reporting Bugs

We welcome bug reports and suggestions for any aspect of the Texinfo system, programs, documentation, installation, anything. Please email them to bug-texinfo@gnu.org. You can get the latest version of Texinfo from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/ and its mirrors worldwide.

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

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 most welcome; if possible, please make them with ‘diff -c’ (see Overview in Comparing and Merging Files) and include ChangeLog entries (see Change Log in The GNU Emacs Manual).

When sending patches, if possible please do not encode or split them in any way; it’s much easier to deal with one plain text message, however large, than many small ones. GNU shar is a convenient way of packaging multiple and/or binary files for email.
