Bug Reports

Bug reports are essential to the NetBSD Project. Without them, the developers of the NetBSD operating system might miss little problems (or big ones). Through the bug report, users can tell developers about the problems they encounter and provide possible fixes in a clear, concise manner.

The NetBSD Project uses the GNATS bug tracking system. The program send-pr(1) is the user interface to this system. It provides a form to fill out with your favorite editor. Once the form is completed, it sends it away to the NetBSD GNATS server. From there, the person responsible for fixing that bug can record progress. All bug reports sent with send-pr(1) are echoed to the netbsd-bugs mailing list.

The best way to send a bug report is with your send-pr(1) program from your NetBSD system. For those people who can not send bug reports via the send-pr(1) program, you may fill out our send-pr form.
