These guidelines describe recommended handling
practices for FreeBSD Problem Reports (PRs). Whilst
developed for the FreeBSD PR Database Maintenance Team
<freebsd-bugbusters@FreeBSD.org>,
these guidelines should be followed by anyone working
with FreeBSD PRs.
GNATS is a defect management (bug reporting) system used
by the FreeBSD Project. As accurate tracking of outstanding
software defects is important to FreeBSD's quality, the
correct use of GNATS is essential to the forward progress
of the Project.
Access to GNATS is available to FreeBSD developers, as
well as to the wider community. In order to maintain
consistency within the database and provide a consistent
user experience, guidelines have been established covering
common aspects of bug management such as presenting
followup, handling close requests, and so forth.
