Reporting problems with Aquamacs

• Bug reports are sent to the Aquamacs-bugs mailing list using the "Send Bug Report" function in the Aquamacs Help menu. If you have a problem with a particular mode and you're sure that the bug occurs when using that mode with a plain GNU Emacs (not Aquamacs), then try to get in touch with the developers of that mode. Do not send bug reports to the Emacs on OS X mailing list. If you know that the bug occurs in GNU Emacs, too, then report it to the GNU Emacs Pretest Bug mailing list instead. However you submit a bug, you must follow the points below before making a report!

• Bug Reporting Procedure:

  If you encounter a bug while using a nightly build, you must run the following checks to determine the general source of the bug:
  1. Remove your ~/.emacs and ~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/Preferences.el files. Restart Aquamacs. Has the bug gone away? Then it's a problem with your configuration. Find out what part of the configuration is causing the bug, and if you still consider it a bug, report it to the Aquamacs-bugs mailing list using the "Send Bug Report" function in the Aquamacs Help menu.
  2. Remove files / folders in (~)/Library/Preferences/(Aquamacs )Emacs/ - this includes ec-emacs, auctex, etc. Has the bug gone away? Then it's a problem with your add-on package. Report these problems directly to the maintainer of the package.
  3. Start Aquamacs in Raw mode: from Terminal.app, call

     /Applications/Aquamacs\ Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs\ Emacs -Q
     

     Has the bug gone away? Then it's likely to be a real bug in Aquamacs. Report it to the Aquamacs-bugs mailing list using the "Send Bug Report" function in the Aquamacs Help menu..
  4. Is the bug still there, even in Raw mode, that is, running Aquamacs Emacs without most Aquamacs-specific parts? It's likely to be a bug in GNU Emacs. To make sure it is, you can install a recent GNU Emacs build from us and try it there. To report the bug, use the "Send Bug Report" function in Aquamacs, but send the e-mail to the GNU Emacs Pretest Bug mailing list.
• Update regularly. Consider using the nightly builds from CVS.
