2.1.3 Bugs

There is also a special list used for reporting bugs, <bug-liquidwar6@gnu.org>. Please try and describe the bug as precisely as possible. The more accurate the description, the more chances it will get to be fixed.

While this is the standard GNU way of reporting bugs, modern SPAM standards make it very hard to filter real bug reports from junk on this list. It is more convenient to use a web interface, the URL is: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=liquidwar6 and you’re really encouraged to use it instead of sending emails.

Please take a look at the bug list before submitting new bugs.
