Reporting issues

Any defects or issues can be reported by e-mail or in the SourceForge project defect manager.
Any improvement suggestions can be reported by e-mail or in the SourceForge project ticket manager.

To report build or installation problems, include:

• the compiler name and version (e.g. gcc version 10),
• the C standard library name and version (e.g. glibc version 2.x),
• the output of the configure script. You can capture it by running ./configure > configure-output.txt 2>&1,
• the generated config.log file,
• the generated config.h file, if it exists,
• the output of the make command. You can capture it by running make > make-output.txt 2>&1,
• any other error messages,
• any other information that you think could lead to solving the problem.

To report usage problems, include:

• all the above things you include when reporting building problems,
• a description of the problem that the software causes,
• any error messages that are displayed,
• information whether you tried other wiping methods and whether they work,
• information whether you tried wiping just parts (undelete data, free space, partial blocks) of the filesystem and whether it worked,
• information whether you tried another filesystems, if possible, and whether it worked,
• (if the problem is with a filesystem) if possible, the whole input filesystem or a minimalistic input file that causes the problem to show (e.g. file of zero length or with a strange name),
• any other information that you think could lead to solving the problem.
