Reporting Bugs

Defects, enhancements, and other issue reporting for Apache OODT

Hey, nobody's perfect.

If you've discovered a defect with Apache OODT, or would like to request an enhancement be made, or if you have some other issue with the software, here's how you can proceed:

  • Raise the issue with us informally through our Contact Page where you can find Mailing Lists, IRC Chat, and Social Media links.
  • Search our issue tracker to see if your issue has already been raised and—if not—to raise it yourself. See below for more details.

Issue Tracker

Apache OODT is supported by an installation of the JIRA issue tracking system. You can visit our JIRA tracker at the following location:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT

The JIRA user interface lets you search for existing issue affecting OODT (issues that are "open"), as well as report new defects and requests for enhancement. If your issue hasn't yet been raised by someone else, feel free to submit a new issue:

  1. Please describe your issue with an informative summary.
  2. Include full steps needed to reproduce the issue.
  3. Tell what version of OODT has the issue, and include pertinent environment details

You're also free to include patches to fix the issue. Post a lot of patches and we may just want to have you join the OODT team.

Security Vulnerabilities

The Apache Software Foundation takes an active stance when it comes to software security. And as an incubating project, OODT does too.

We strenuously urge the report of security problems to our private email list, private@oodt.apache.org, before you make any public disclosure.

Note: the private email list should not be used for general bug reports. However, if you need to report a bug that is in an already disclosed security vulnerability, go ahead and use the regular bug reporting procedures described above.
