Patches, Bugs & Translations

Bugs are reported by creating a new ticket. But first make sure that the bug isn't already listed. Because of heavy spamming, you have to be logged in to create and modify tickets. Registration is a simple matter of choosing a user name. An email address is not required. However, if you do specify an email address you will be notified about ticket changes. Click on the top right Register button to create a user now.

Patches are preferably submitted as new tickets with the patch as an attachment but may also be sent to the mailing list. Before submitting patches please read through our coding style guidelines. Also note that patches formatted with git-format-patch are highly preferred.

Translations shall be submitted via Fedora's Transifex. This will commit your translations directly to our GIT repository and lessen our burden to merge patches. Please note that translations submitted by other means (bug tickets, mailed patches) will be ignored (or closed as "wontfix" in the case of bug tickets). If you want to submit translations via Fedora's Transifex you need to create an Fedora account as described in Fedora's Translation Quick Start Guide. Please note that you don't need to be a Fedora developer or even user to create a Fedora translation account. You also don't need an Avahi BTS user account if you want to submit translations this way.

Alternatively send patches or bug reports directly to mzninuv [at] 0pointer [dot] net.

Avahi bugs are also tracked at the various distribution bug trackers:
