= Standard keywords for Sage trac =

You may specify any number of keywords on a given ticket, zero, one or more from any category.
Also note that these keywords are mostly for defects rather than enhancements.

== Kind of bug ==

||'''keyword'''||'''meaning'''||
||build||Sage does not build||
||doctest||A failure in a doctest||
||segfault||"Unhandled SIGSEGV: A segmentation fault occurred in Sage" or similar like SIGBUS||
||doesnotstart||Sage does not start up||
||exception||Some command yields an exception where it is not expected||
||wrongresult||Sage computes something, but the answer is wrong||
||memleak||A memory leak||
||slow||Something is very slow because of a clear bug (don't use this to mean that a whole new algoritm should be implemented to speed things up)||
||interrupt||Some computation cannot be interrupted or strange stuff happens if it is interrupted||

== Where is the bug ==

When originally posting the bug, these keywords are usually guesses. But that's okay if you have a strong suspicion.

||'''keyword'''||'''meaning'''||
||atlas, ..., zodb3||An spkg name if you think the problem is in the spkg or should be fixed in the spkg||
||upstream||Problem exists upstream||
||gcc||A bug in gcc||

== Kind of system ==

Only use this if you suspect that your bug is related to your particular system.

||'''keyword'''||'''meaning'''||
||linux||Linux||
||fedora, debian, redhat||Any particular distribution||
||macosx||Mac OS X||
||macosx10.4, macosx10.5, ...||Particular version||
||solaris||Solaris||
||windows||Microsoft Windows||

== Kind of patch ==

Since most patches simply patch the Sage library, we do not have a keyword for that.

||'''keyword'''||'''meaning'''||
||spkg||ticket contains a patch for a spkg||
||newspkg||ticket adds a new spkg which did not exist before||
||scripts||ticket has a patch to sage_scripts||
||extcode||ticket has a patch to extcode||
||examples||ticket has a patch to examples||
||c_lib||ticket has some patch changing files in c_lib||
||sageroot||some file not in the sage library, not in any spkg||
