You are welcome to send bug reports about GNU Wget to
<bug-wget@prep.ai.mit.edu>
. The bugs that you think are of the
interest to the public (i.e. more people should be informed about them)
can be Cc-ed to the mailing list at <wget@sunsite.auc.dk>
.
Before actually submitting a bug report, please try to follow a few
simple guidelines.
-
Please try to ascertain that the behaviour you see really is a bug. If
Wget crashes, it's a bug. If Wget does not behave as documented,
it's a bug. If things work strange, but you are not sure about the way
they are supposed to work, it might well be a bug.
-
Try to repeat the bug in as simple circumstances as possible. E.g. if
Wget crashes on `wget -rLl0 -t5 -Y0 http://yoyodyne.com -o
/tmp/log', you should try to see if it will crash with a simpler set of
options.
-
Please start Wget with `-d' option and send the log (or the
relevant parts of it). If Wget was compiled without debug support,
recompile it. It is much easier to trace bugs with debug support
on.
-
If Wget has crashed, try to run it in a debugger, e.g.
gdb `which
wget` core
and type where
to get the backtrace.
-
Find where the bug is, fix it and send me the patches. :-)
