Bug Reports

Since MagniComp provides RDist for free, we cannot provide any support for it. However, we do encourage you to report problems to [email protected]. We also encourage you to include source diffs/patches for any bugs you fix or new features you create. While we are not able to respond to all submissions, we do look at and evaluate all reports. Reports which include debugging information have a higher likelihood of being evaluated. Reports which include source files/patches have the best chance of being addressed and incorporated into future releases.
