- bbaasshhbbuugg is a shell script to help the user compose and
- mail bug reports concerning bash in a standard format.
- bbaasshhbbuugg invokes the editor specified by the environment
- variable EEDDIITTOORR on a temporary copy of the bug report for-
- mat outline. The user must fill in the appropriate fields
- and exit the editor. bbaasshhbbuugg then mails the completed
- report to _b_u_g_-_b_a_s_h_@_p_r_e_p_._a_i_._m_i_t_._e_d_u, or _a_d_d_r_e_s_s. If the
- report cannot be mailed, it is saved in the file
- _d_e_a_d_._b_a_s_h_b_u_g in the invoking user's home directory.
-
- The bug report format outline consists of several sec-
- tions. The first section provides information about the
- machine, operating system, the bash version, and the com-
- pilation environment. The second section should be filled
- in with a description of the bug. The third section
- should be a description of how to reproduce the bug. The
- optional fourth section is for a proposed fix. Fixes are
- encouraged.
