Error Bugs and Debugging - dl5di/OpenDV GitHub Wiki

If you find, or think you have found, a bug within the software distributed via this Yahoo! group then this is what you do:

  1. Write a detailed description of the bug, how it appears, and if possible how to recreate it. A simple statement such as "It doesn't work", don't help anybody and will not help others to find the problem.

  2. Find the log file for the software involved. If you have logging disabled then enable it and recreate the problem. The log file is usually the key to finding a bug, and the complete log file is needed as it contains information about the configuration of the software. It is possible that you may have to supply other log files in due course so don't throw them away.

  3. If the problem is that you cannot link to a reflector, for example, then please ensure that the reflector is running. The fault may not be at your end.

If you have fulfilled these requirements then send your bug report to the appropriate group. Use pcrepeatercontroller for Repeater software and ircDDBGateway for the gateway and associated programs.

 reminder of where these logs are
 by default logs will be set in /var/log
 logs will be named something like ircDDBGateway-YYYY-MM-DD.log
 if you are running stuff as just 'sudo blah' it could also be in the /root (home)
