By creating this page, you agree to assign copyright for your contribution to the Free Software Foundation, http://www.fsf.org/. The Free Software Foundation promises to always use a free documentation license (as per our criteria of free documentation) when publishing your contribution. We grant you back all your rights under copyright, including the rights to copy, modify, and redistribute your contributions.

As you're creating a new open issue page, please supply some suitable tags (like [[!tag open_issue_porting]], or [[!tag open_issue_hurd open_issue_mig]], etc.; remove the backslash, of course) to make sure that your report shows up on the relevant lists of open issues. Select Preview on this page to see all tags that are currently in active use.

The following tags are actively used at the moment:

Most of them should be self-explanatory, and for the others, here are the explanations:

  • bounty

    There is a bounty put on these issues! Typically, these are handled via FOSS Factory.

  • fixed_in_debian

    This tag is used to tag items that have been fixed in the Debian GNU/Hurd distribution, but not yet in the upstream sources.

  • open_issue_documentation

    Used for tagging pages / items that need to be handled / improved for documentation purposes.

  • open_issue_porting

    A list of open issues in porting software to run on GNU/Hurd systems. This list also includes toolchain-level items, items that are either already solved in Debian GNU/Hurd systems (tagged fixed_in_debian) or being worked around, so if you're out for working on application-level porting issues, then perusing through the list of Debian packages that need porting may be better.

  • stable_URL

    These pages are tagged as having a stable URL. That is, they're linked to from external pages, and their locations should not be changed needlessly.
