As soon as a gtkmm or gnomemm patch has been clearly approved by a maintainer, anybody with svn write access may apply it.

Where to report?

  • Bugs are tracked in GNOME's bugzilla
    Submit gtkmm bugs here.
    Submit gnomemm bugs here.
  • Patches should be attached to existing bugzilla bugs rather than sent to the mailing list. When reporting a new bug you'll get a chance to attach a file to it immediately after opening the bug. Please remember to patch the ChangeLog too.

What information is needed for a bug report?

  • version numbers of GTK+, gtkmm and other related software, including your platform/distro/compiler.
  • description of the bug
  • information to reproduce the bug
  • stack dump, if relevant: 
    gdb ./proggy ; run ; *crash* ; where
  • keep it small but detailed
  • if possible, provide a patch

If we can't solve the problem immediately then we might ask you to create a simple-as-possible example that actually builds. This helps us to isolate the problem, and proves that the problem is not caused by your own code.

How do I create a patch?

  • Take code from svn
  • Modify that version
  • Check it compiles
  • Edit the ChangeLog
  • Use svn to create a patch 
      svn diff > my_fix.patch
  • Add the patch to bugzilla (see above).

Should I send a bug report?

Always send a bug report:

  • If you get a crash and you think it might be problem with gtkmm.
  • If you cannot compile gtkmm.
  • If you have a good idea of how to make gtkmm better.
