|
|
35 | |
|
|
36 | The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode contains large patches that |
|
|
37 | considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode. Before reporting a |
|
|
38 | bug to the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the |
|
|
39 | genuine version (L<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>) and try to |
|
|
40 | reproduce the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are |
|
|
41 | specific to Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the |
|
|
42 | Debian Bug Tracking System (use C<reportbug> to report the bug). |
|
|
43 | |
|
|
44 | For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and |
|
|
45 | probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a |
|
|
46 | bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users that |
|
|
47 | might encounter the same issue. |
