14 Reporting Bugs

Please send bug reports to the current maintainers by electronic mail. The address to use is ‘<bug-stow@gnu.org>’. Please include:

• the version number of Stow (‘stow --version’);
• the version number of Perl (‘perl -v’);
• the system information, which can often be obtained with ‘uname -a’;
• a description of the bug;
• the precise command you gave;
• the output from the command (preferably verbose output, obtained by adding ‘--verbose=3’ to the Stow command line).

If you are really keen, consider developing a minimal test case and creating a new test. See the t/ directory in the source for lots of examples.

Before reporting a bug, please read the manual carefully, especially Known Bugs, to see whether you're encountering something that doesn't need reporting. (see Conflicts).
