This file documents how best to report +bugs so as to ensure that they can be fixed as quickly as possible. + +Please report bugs by sending email to bugs@openvswitch.org. Include +as much of the following information as you can in your report: + + * The Open vSwitch version number (as output by "ovs-vswitchd + --version"). + + * The Git commit number (as output by "git rev-parse HEAD"), + if you built from a Git snapshot. + + * Any local patches or changes you have applied (if any). + + * The kernel version on which Open vSwitch is running (from + /proc/version) and the distribution and version number of + your OS (e.g. "Centos 5.0"). + + * The contents of the vswitchd configuration file (usually + /etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf). + + * The output of "ovs-dpctl show". + + * If you have Open vSwitch configured to connect to an + OpenFlow controller, the output of "ovs-ofctl show " + for each configured in the vswitchd configuration + file. + + * A description of the problem, which should include: + + - What you did that make the problem appear. + + - What you expected to happen. + + - What actually happened. + + * A fix or workaround, if you have one. + + * Any other information that you think might be relevant. + +bugs@openvswitch.org is a public mailing list, to which anyone can +subscribe, so please do not include confidential information in your +bug report. + +Contact +------- + +bugs@openvswitch.org +http://openvswitch.org/
