+.SH NAME
+cvsbug \- send problem report (PR) about CVS to a central support site
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B cvsbug

+]
+[
+.B \-t
+.I mail-address
+]

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B cvsbug
+is a tool used to submit 
+.I problem reports 
+.\" SITE ADMINISTRATORS - change this if you use a local default
+(PRs) to a central support site.  In most cases the correct 
+.I site
+will be the default.  This argument indicates the support site which
+is responsible for the category of problem involved.  Some sites may
+use a local address as a default.  
+.I site
+values are defined by using the 
+.BR aliases (5).
+.LP
+.B cvsbug
+invokes an editor on a problem report template (after trying to fill
+in some fields with reasonable default values).  When you exit the
+editor,
+.B cvsbug 
+sends the completed form to the
+.I Problem Report Management System
+(\fBGNATS\fR) at a central support site.  At the support site, the PR
+is assigned a unique number and is stored in the \fBGNATS\fR database
+according to its category and submitter-id.  \fBGNATS\fR automatically
+replies with an acknowledgement, citing the category and the PR
+number.
+.LP
+To ensure that a PR is handled promptly, it should contain your (unique)
+\fIsubmitter-id\fR and one of the available \fIcategories\fR to identify the
+problem area.  (Use
+.B `cvsbug -L'
+to see a list of categories.)
+.LP
+The
+.B cvsbug
+template at your site should already be customized with your
+submitter-id (running `\|\fBinstall-sid\fP \fIsubmitter-id\fP\|' to
+accomplish this is part of the installation procedures for
+.BR cvsbug ).
+If this hasn't been done, see your system administrator for your
+submitter-id, or request one from your support site by invoking
+.B `cvsbug \-\-request\-id'.
+If your site does not distinguish between different user sites, or if
+you are not affiliated with the support site, use
+.B `net'
+for this field.
+.LP
+The more precise your problem description and the more complete your
+information, the faster your support team can solve your problems.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI \-f " problem-report"
+specify a file (\fIproblem-report\fR) which already contains a
+complete problem report.
+.B cvsbug
+sends the contents of the file without invoking the editor.  If 
+the value for 
+.I problem-report
+is
+.BR `\|\-\|' ,
+then
+.B cvsbug
+reads from standard input.
+.TP
+.BI \-t " mail-address"
+Change mail address at the support site for problem reports.  The
+default 
+.I mail-address
+is the address used for the default 
+.IR site .  
+Use the
+.I site
+argument rather than this option in nearly all cases.
+.TP
+.B \-P
+print the form specified by the environment variable 
+.B PR_FORM 
+on standard output.  If 
+.B PR_FORM
+is not set, print the standard blank PR template.  No mail is sent.
+.TP
+.B -L
+print the list of available categories.  No mail is sent.
+.TP
+.B \-\-request\-id
+sends mail to the default support site, or
+.I site
+if specified, with a request for your 
+.IR submitter-id . 
+If you are
+not affiliated with 
+.IR site ,
+use a
+.I submitter-id
+of
+.BR net \|'.
+.TP
+.B \-v
+Display the 
+.B cvsbug
+version number.
+.LP
+Note: use
+.B cvsbug
+to submit problem reports rather than mailing them directly.  Using
+both the template and
+.B cvsbug
+itself will help ensure all necessary information will reach the
+support site.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+The environment variable 
+.B EDITOR
+specifies the editor to invoke on the template.
+.br
+default:
+.B vi
+.sp
+If the environment variable 
+.B PR_FORM
+is set, then its value is used as the file name of the template for
+your problem-report editing session.  You can use this to start with a
+partially completed form (for example, a form with the identification
+fields already completed).
+.SH "HOW TO FILL OUT A PROBLEM REPORT"
+Problem reports have to be in a particular form so that a program can
+easily manage them.  Please remember the following guidelines:
+.IP \(bu 3m 
+describe only 
+.B one problem
+with each problem report.
+.IP \(bu 3m
+For follow-up mail, use the same subject line as the one in the automatic
+acknowledgent. It consists of category, PR number and the original synopsis
+line.  This allows the support site to relate several mail messages to a
+particular PR and to record them automatically.
+.IP \(bu 3m 
+Please try to be as accurate as possible in the subject and/or synopsis line.
+.IP \(bu 3m 
+The subject and the synopsis line are not confidential.  This is
+because open-bugs lists are compiled from them.  Avoid confidential
+information there.
+.LP
+See the GNU 
+.B Info 
+file
+.B cvsbug.info
+or the document \fIReporting Problems With cvsbug\fR\ for detailed
+information on reporting problems
+.SH "HOW TO SUBMIT TEST CASES, CODE, ETC."
+Submit small code samples with the PR.  Contact the support site for
+instructions on submitting larger test cases and problematic source
+code.
+.SH FILES
+.ta \w'/tmp/pbad$$  'u
