BK-SENDBUG(1)

🐞 bk sendbug — file a bug report 🐞

okay so bestie, this is the BitKeeper User’s Manual page for bk sendbug(none), and the whole vibe is “file that bug report properly.” 💖

✨ NAME ✨

bk sendbug — file a bug report. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bk sendbug [−T] [email@host]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Use this to file a bug or a request for enhancement (RFE) against a project. 💅

By default, bk sendbug displays the graphical version of sendbug when the DISPLAY environment variable is set (UNIX), or if it is run on a Windows operating system. If you want a text editor instead of the GUI, use the −T option. ✨

If an email address is specified, the bug will be sent to that email address. 📬

bestie, use this command to file a bug report rather than sending mail to one of the developers. That’s literally the whole point. 💖

The BitKeeper bug database is online at http://db.bitkeeper.com.

The bug database is also available via email — consult the web page for more information. 🦋

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• −T — use a text editor rather than the default graphical tool to fill out a bug report. 🖊️

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• REPLYTO — submitter’s email address. 💌

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

An example text template looks like this:

Bug/RFE:
        [bug is obvious, RFE is request for enhancement]

Severity:
        [5 ‐ no big deal, 1 ‐ can’t use BitKeeper until this is fixed]

Priority:
        [5 ‐ fix whenever, 1 ‐ fix RIGHT NOW]

Program:
        [cset, get, delta, etc.  If you know which caused the problem]

Release:
        beta10‐pre1

OS:
        [Linux, IRIX, NT, etc]
Etc.

And the filled-out report should look like this (note that the data goes after the tags, not on the same line): 👑

        bug

        1

        1
