1.a. How To File Keyword-Bugs On Gentoo/AMD64

First we want to thank you for helping out with the Gentoo/AMD64 project. Your diligent efforts in testing applications is greatly appreciated. In the following we want to explain the steps to submitting a bug report if you want to let us know that a masked application works on your Gentoo/AMD64 installation.

1.b. Register First!

1.c. Steps For Submission

Perform the following steps to submit a bug:

• Browse to bugs.gentoo.org.
• Click on Report A Bug near the top of the page.
• Choose Gentoo Linux from the product list.
• Log in using your bugs.gentoo.org account.
• Search for your bug
  • Enter ALL and the name of the ebuild into the search textbox. Be carefull, ALL is casesensitive.

ALL k3b

• Continue searching for your bug
  • Click the Search button.
  • Check if anyone has already submitted a bug report on the masked application that works for you.
  • You should see two thing.
    • The Plt column should say amd64.
    • The Summary column should say something like working on amd64.
  • If you don't say anything applicable in the search subframe, move on to the next step. Otherwise, we already know about the application and you don't need to (and shouldn't) submit a new bug report.
• Give us your information
  • Select Ebuilds for the Component.
  • Select amd64 for the Hardware Platform.
  • In the Summary textbox, enter your summary in the form: ${category}/${application}-${version} works on amd64.

  • Paste the output from emerge info into the Description textarea. This step is very helpful and gives us the environmental conditions (e.g USE flags) you used.
