As Alexander indicated there is a test mailing list where you can discuss your issue and when the basic homework is done you can file a bug in bugzilla. This info is on the redhat pages. I tend to 'lurk' on the test list unless I am active on a test box problem. The value of 'lurking' is that you see the flow of things and are aware of things that have already been discussed. More importantly you begin to see how problems are researched and communicated. You also will begin to see how the project is 'structured'. Then when it is your turn to file a bug or ask a question your bugs are more likely to be seen as worthy of time and effort. Of interest most 'big' changes go in early. The 'test' cycle is more of an opportunity to polish than change. Rawhide is where changes arrive. Test and rawhide can differ! Test and rawhide can be painful. Only play on a test system. Some bugs can take weeks to sort out. The test system concept is important. The process is sort of like cars. If you do serious work on your own car, you often need a second car to go get parts with. -- T o m M i t c h e l l In the USA, vote informed, second Tuesday Nov 2004.
