+This file describes the procedure for reporting Zebra bugs.
+You are not obliged to follow this format , but it would be
+great help for Zebra developers if you report a bug as described
+below.
+
+Send your report to bug-zebra@gnu.org mailing list.
+
+Please supply the following information:
+1. Your zebra version or if it is CVS version then the date you did checkout.
+Always try to report the bugs on the current CVS version.
+2. Zebra daemons you run e.g. bgpd or ripd, your OS full name,
+any specific options you compiled zebra with. 
+3. Problem description. Copy and paste relative zebra commands and their
+output to describe your network setup e.g. "zebra>show ip route".
+Please, also give your simple network layout and output of relative OS commands
+(e.g. ifconfig).
+4. All zebra configuration files you use. If you don't want to publish
+your network numbers change 2 middle bytes in IPv4 address to be XXX e.g.
+192.XXX.XXX.32/24. Similar could be done with IPv6.
+5. If any zebra daemon core dumped, please, supply stack trace using
+the following commands: host> gdb exec_file core_file , (gdb) bt .
+6. Run all zebra daemons with full debugging on (see documentation on debugging) and
+send _only_ part of logs which are relative to your problem.
+7. If the problem is difficult to reproduce please send a shell script to
+reproduce it.
+8. Patches, workarounds, fixes are always welcome.
+
+Thank You.
