with an <a href="https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/">on-line
archive</a>. Please subscribe to this list before posting by visiting the <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list">associated Web</a>
page and follow the instructions. Patches with explanations and provided as
attachments are really appreciated and will be discussed on the mailing list.
If possible generate the patches by using cvs diff -u in a CVS checkout.</p><p>We use Red Hat Bugzilla to track bugs and new feature requests to libvirt.
If you want to report a bug or ask for a feature, please check <a href="http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?component=libvirt&component=libvirt-devel&component=libvirt-python&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=INVESTIGATE&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=VERIFIED&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&Search=Search">the existing open bugs</a>, then if yours isn't a duplicate of
an existing bug:</p><ul><li>If you are using official binaries from Fedora: <a href="http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=libvirt">log a new bug for Fedora</a></li>
<li>If you are using official binaries from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5: <a href="http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20Linux%205">log a new bug for RHEL</a></li>
<li>Otherwise: <a href="http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=Virtualization%20Tools">log a new bug here</a></li>
</ul><p> Don't forget to attach any patch or extra data that you may have available. It is always a good idea to also
to post to the <a href="mailto:libvir-list@redhat.com">mailing-list</a>
too, so that everybody working on the project can see it, thanks !</p><p>Some of the libvirt developers may be found on IRC on the OFTC
network. Use the settings:</p><ul><li>server: irc.oftc.net</li>
<li>port: 6667 (the usual IRC port)</li>
<li>channel: #virt</li>
</ul><p> But there is no guarantee that someone will be watching or able to reply,
use the mailing-list if you don't get an answer there.</p></div></div><div class="linkList2"><div class="llinks2"><h3 class="links2"><span>main menu</span></h3><ul><li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li><li><a href="news.html">Releases</a></li><li><a href="intro.html">Introduction</a></li><li><a href="architecture.html">libvirt architecture</a></li><li><a href="downloads.html">Downloads</a></li><li><a href="format.html">XML Format</a></li><li><a href="python.html">Bindings for other languages</a></li><li><a href="errors.html">Handling of errors</a></li><li><a href="FAQ.html">FAQ</a></li><li><a href="bugs.html">Reporting bugs and getting help</a></li><li><a href="windows.html">Windows support</a></li><li><a href="remote.html">Remote support</a></li><li><a href="auth.html">Access control</a></li><li><a href="uri.html">Connection URIs</a></li><li><a href="hvsupport.html">Hypervisor support</a></li><li><a href="storage.html">Storage Management</a></li><li><a href="html/index.html">API Menu</a></li><li><a href="examples/index.html">C code examples</a></li><li><a href="ChangeLog.html">Recent Changes</a></li></ul></div><div class="llinks2"><h3 class="links2"><span>related links</span></h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/">Mail archive</a></li><li><a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=Fedora+Core&component=libvirt&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=MODIFIED&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr">Open bugs</a></li><li><a href="http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/">virt-manager</a></li><li><a href="http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/Sys-Virt-0.1.0/">Perl bindings</a></li><li><a href="http://libvirt.org/ocaml/">OCaml bindings</a></li><li><a href="http://libvirt.org/ruby/">Ruby bindings</a></li><li><a href="http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/index.html">Xen project</a></li><li><form action="search.php" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" method="get"><input name="query" type="text" size="12" value="Search..." /><input name="submit" type="submit" value="Go" /></form></li><li><a href="http://xmlsoft.org/"><img src="Libxml2-Logo-90x34.gif" alt="Made with Libxml2 Logo" /></a></li></ul><p class="credits">Graphics and design by <a href="mail:dfong@redhat.com">Diana Fong</a></p></div></div><div id="bottom"><p class="p1"></p></div></div></body></html>
