+
+ <h2>1. Update your system.</h2>
+ <p>Make sure your system is up-to-date,
+ and double-check if you still encounter the same bug.</p>
+ <p>If not, that means that an installed update may have fixed the bug
+ &ndash; you may stop here.</p>
+
+ <hr />
+ <h2>2. Reproduce the bug.</h2>
+ <p>Make sure you can reproduce the bug, and how you do it.</p>
+ <p>If not, it will be difficult for developers to identify and fix this bug.
+ But if you still think this is important enough to be reported, continue.</p>
+
+ <hr />
+ <h2>3. Go to <a href="https://bugs.mageia.org/">bugs.mageia.org</a>.</h2>
+ <p>&hellip; and sign in with <a href="https://identity.mageia.org/">your Mageia account</a>.
+ If you do not have an account yet,
+ you can <a href="https://identity.mageia.org/register">register one</a>.</p>
+
+ <hr />
+ <h2>4. Search for a similar bug.</h2>
+ <p>This bug may have been reported already. So search for it using the search box.</p>
+ <p>If there is one such similar bug:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>has it been resolved already? does the proposed resolution work for you?</li>
+ <li>is it still pending resolution? then try to see if
+ you can add relevant information into the comments
+ section of the bug (bottom of the page).</li>
+ <li>do you want to be notified of updates relative to this bug? then add yourself in the Cc list.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>If you found no similar bug, or if the resolution doesn't work for you, you may continue.</p>
+
+ <hr />
+ <h2>5. File a new bug.</h2>
+ <p>Choose the Product, Component, Version, Hardware Platform that best match
+ the context of this bug. Put the name of the Source RPM of the package
+ (see below for more details).</p>
+
+ <p>Write a clear summary explaining the bug, in a few words.</p>
+
+ <p>Explain the bug in details, following the template provided to you in the report form.</p>
+
+
+ <p>Attach the documents that seem relevant and informative about this bug.</p>
+
+ <p>Assign the bug to the packager maintainer (or let the triage team add it)</p>
+
+ <p>Post your bug.</p>
+
+ <hr />
+ <h3>Document your bug!</h3>
+ <p>It is crucial that you gather information about your bug:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>what is the software involved? what is the package, source package of it?</li>
+ <li>who is the maintainer?</li>
+ <li>do you have a log file or a screenshot that may help demonstrate the problem?</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p><code class="term">$ rpm -qi package</code></p>
+ <p>will give you a lot of informations about a package already: source package name, maintainer, etc.</p>
+
+ <hr />
+ <h2>6. Follow up.</h2>
+ <p>Your bug will be reviewed by the Triage team and/or the maintainer of the package,
+ or other contributors.
+ It will help a lot that you answer their questions so they can get a better picture
+ of the issue at hand and fix it more quickly.</p>
+ <p>Similarly, your bug may be silently fixed in a later release.
+ If so, consider closing your bug on your own.</p>
+
+ <hr />
+ <h2>7. Thank you!</h2>
+ <p>Thanks to take the time to report to us about your experience
+ of Mageia. This will help make it a better operating system for everyone.</p>
+
+ <hr />
