Bug Reports and Feature Requests

Postby kmihelich » Wed Mar 21, 2012 10:39 pm

Due to the volume of messages on the forum, it is difficult for the developers to isolate bugs and feature requests from other discussions. If you have found a bug in a package provided by Arch Linux ARM in its repositories, or you have a request for a package you would like to see in our repositories, the correct place to do this is in our GitHub issue queue.

Note: The inability to configure or properly use specific packages or Arch Linux as a whole is not a bug. Specific package-related bugs belong in the GitHub issue tracker. All usage issues should remain in the forum.

For corrections/additions/updates to packages tracked in GitHub, it is highly appreciated if you fork the repository, make your changes, and submit a pull request. This allows us to immediately merge your request if there isn't an issue with it, makes our work load lighter, and means the issue will be resolved quickly. All pull requests, particularly those with new packages, must be verified to build by the submitter on all architectures supported by Arch Linux ARM. Unless a package is only usable on a particular architecture, pull requests will be rejected if they are not tested prior. Upstream updates to the package and build failures are expected to be addressed and fixed by the original submitter, or the package will be removed from our repositories. Adherence to all relevant points discussed in the GitHub README is mandatory.

Issues concerning specific packages need to reference:
  1. The package name, version, architecture, and the board being used
  2. A detailed description of the issue
  3. The steps needed to recreate the issue

This especially applies to kernels. There are over 20 different kernels we maintain, so you must be specific.

Issues that do not relate to packages and that do not supply the information requested will be summarily closed and disregarded.
