====== X2Go Bug Tracker ======

The X2Go project uses the ''debbugs'' as bug tracking system (BTS) software. The ''debbugs'' tracker is the software that's also used by the Debian project for tracking issues in the multitude of Debian packages.

Before X2Go had a bug tracker, the quest was: we need a BTS that is easily scriptable and a BTS that fully maps issue tracking to the developers' mail clients. Furthermore, we did not want a bug tracker that could be fed with content by clicking around on a web page.

The choice has been well thought of, you may find that there are better bug tracking
systems in the world. For X2Go, we think we have found what we wanted.

===== Open / Closed Bugs =====


If you know either the X2Go component or the bug number you can also access the information directly:

  * [[http://bugs.x2go.org/<nnn>]] (where <nnn> is the bug number)
  * [[http://bugs.x2go.org/<x2go-component]] (where <x2go-component is a valid X2Go component)

A complete list of X2Go components with open/closed bugs can be viewed with this URL:

  * [[http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/pkgindex.cgi?indexon=src]]

===== Reporting Bugs =====

How to report a bug is explained [[http://bugs.x2go.org/Reporting.html|here]]. In a nutshell send a mail like the one below (everything that is written in <pointed-brackets> needs being replaced by some proper value.
