As an user or a developer, reporting the bugs you find is really important for development of the project. On this page you will find information about how you can report bugs to the project.

Package bugs/issues

If you are having issues with a package/software, identify the pool that contains the package. To do so you can use the following command:

$ matt info <package name>

Or you can search for the package using the MatterLinux package tracker.

After identifying the repo, visit the issue tracker for that specific repo:

Using the search feature of the issue tracker, make sure that the issue has not been already reported. There is no point at reporting the issue, if it has been already reported. Duplicate issues will be closed.

If the issue has not been already reported, follow the "Registering to Gitea" section of the contributing page in order to create an account. Using this account you can create an issue, fill out all the required information, and patiently wait for a response. You should provide additional details about the bug/issue when requested.

Tool bugs/issues

You may have issues using MatterLinux tools such as the MatterLinux Package Manager (matt). This issues should be reported to the related issue tracker over on Gitea.

Translation mistakes, spelling mistakes etc.

You do not need to create an issue for small issues such as little translation mistakes. Just contact maintainer/developers directly.
