This page provides information on how to contact the Klipper
developers.
Bug reporting
=============
Bug reports are submitted through github issues. All bug reports must
include the full /tmp/klippy.log log file from the session that
produced the error. To acquire this log file, ssh into the computer
running the klipper host software, and run:
```
gzip -k /tmp/klippy.log
```
Then scp the resulting `/tmp/klippy.log.gz` file from the host machine
to your desktop. (If your desktop does not have scp installed, there
are a number of free scp programs available - just do a web search for
`windows scp` to find one.) Open a new issue at
https://github.com/KevinOConnor/klipper/issues , attach the
`klippy.log.gz` file to that issue, and provide a description of the
problem.
IRC
===
One may join the #klipper channel on freenode.net (
irc://chat.freenode.net:6667 ).
To communicate in this IRC channel one will need an IRC
client. Configure it to connect to chat.freenode.net on port 6667 and
join the #klipper channel (`/join #klipper`).
If asking a question on IRC, be sure to ask the question and then stay
connected to the channel to receive responses. Due to timezone
differences, it may take several hours before receiving a response.
