Kapitel 6. Yderligere oplysninger om Debian

Beyond these release notes and the installation guide, further documentation on Debian is available from the Debian Documentation Project (DDP), whose goal is to create high-quality documentation for Debian users and developers, such as the Debian Reference, Debian New Maintainers Guide, the Debian FAQ, and many more. For full details of the existing resources see the Debian Documentation website and the Debian Wiki.

Dokumentationen for enkelte pakker installeres i /usr/share/doc/pakke. Dette kan omfatte oplysninger om ophavsret, Debian-specifikke detaljer samt dokumentation fra programmets ophavssted.

There are many sources of help, advice, and support for Debian users, though these should only be considered after researching the issue in available documentation. This section provides a short introduction to these sources which may be helpful for new Debian users.

We strive to make Debian a high-quality operating system; however that does not mean that the packages we provide are totally free of bugs. Consistent with Debian's “open development” philosophy and as a service to our users, we provide all the information on reported bugs at our own Bug Tracking System (BTS). The BTS can be browsed at https://bugs.debian.org/.

Hvis du finder en fejl i distributionen eller i de programpakker, som er en del af den, så rapporter dem venligst så de kan blive rettet i fremtidige udgivelser. Fejlrapportering kræver en gyldig e-postadresse. Vi beder om dette for, at vi kan spore fejlrapporterne, og så udviklerne kan kontakte ophavspersonen hvis der kræves flere oplysninger.

You can submit a bug report using the program reportbug or manually using e-mail. You can find out more about the Bug Tracking System and how to use it by reading the reference documentation (available at /usr/share/doc/debian if you have doc-debian installed) or online at the Bug Tracking System.

You do not need to be an expert to contribute to Debian. By assisting users with problems on the various user support lists you are contributing to the community. Identifying (and also solving) problems related to the development of the distribution by participating on the development lists is also extremely helpful. To maintain Debian's high-quality distribution, submit bugs and help developers track them down and fix them. The tool how-can-i-help helps you to find suitable reported bugs to work on. If you have a way with words then you may want to contribute more actively by helping to write documentation or translate existing documentation into your own language.

Hvis du kan afsætte mere tid, kan du håndtere et stykke af Debians fri softwaresamling. Det er især en hjælp hvis folk tager ansvaret for eller vedligeholder ting, hvis inklusion i Debian forespørges af andre. Databasen Work Needing and Prospective Packages indeholder denne type oplysninger. Hvis du er interesseret i specifikke grupper, vil du måske finde det underholdende at bidrage til nogle af Debians underprojekter, inklusive portering til bestemte arkitekturer og Debian Pure Blends for specifikke brugergrupper, blandt mange andre.

Under alle omstændigheder: Hvis du på nogen måde arbejder inden for den frie programbevægelse, enten som bruger, programmør, dokumentationsforfatter eller oversætter, hjælper du allerede de frie programmer. At bidrage er både lønsomt og morsomt, lader dig møde nye mennesker, og giver dig en rar fornemmelse indeni.
