From 3edf063d4d27d6132c67024b9560c0075fe7a48e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuriy Andamasov Date: Wed, 6 May 2026 21:08:17 +0300 Subject: feat: flip swap mechanism on circinus — MD as primary, RST as override MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Mirror of #1899 for circinus. Same logic, same scripts, per-branch file set. Changes: - Rename docs/**/md-.md to docs/**/.md (drop md- prefix) for all 253 stems previously listed in docs/_swap.txt - Rename docs/**/.rst to docs/**/rst-.rst (add rst- prefix) for the same 253 stems - Repurpose docs/_swap.txt as docs/_rst_overrides.txt; initially empty - conf.py exclude_patterns flipped: rst-*.rst excluded by default - conf.py runtime-artifact references updated to _rst_override_state.json and _md_exclude.txt - scripts/swap_sources.py rewritten with inverted rename direction (rst-.rst → .rst when applying overrides; .md excluded via _md_exclude.txt) - scripts/import_myst.py and tests/test_import_myst.py deleted (obsolete) - tests/test_swap_sources.py rewritten for new semantics Identical change set to #1899 (current). Per-branch differences: - circinus has 253 stems vs current's 254 (suricata is current-only) - otherwise the script/conf.py/test changes are byte-identical with current Generated by robots https://vyos.io --- docs/contributing/issues-features.md | 122 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 122 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/contributing/issues-features.md (limited to 'docs/contributing/issues-features.md') diff --git a/docs/contributing/issues-features.md b/docs/contributing/issues-features.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..ab235326 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/contributing/issues-features.md @@ -0,0 +1,122 @@ +--- +lastproofread: '2025-12-08' +--- + +(issues_features)= + +# Issues/Feature requests + +(bug_report)= + +## Bug Report/Issue + +Issues and bugs occur in every software project, and VyOS is no exception. + +### I found a bug, what should I do? + +When you find a potential bug, first: + +- Consult the [documentation] to ensure you configured your system + correctly. +- Check if the VyOS community has identified a workaround for the bug through + [Slack] or the VyOS [Forum]. + +### Ensure the bug is reproducible + +Include the following information when reporting a bug: + +- A sequence of configuration commands or a complete configuration file needed + to recreate the bug. Avoid partial configurations: a sequence of commands is + easy to paste and a complete configuration is easy to load, but a partial + config is hard to reconstruct. +- Describe the expected behavior and how it differs from what you observe. + Include command outputs or traffic dumps. Explain briefly why these outputs + are incorrect and what the correct behavior should be. +- A sequence of actions that trigger the bug. While not always possible, this + helps developers and community members confirm the issue and verify fixes. +- If the bug is a regression, specify the VyOS version where the feature worked + correctly (any working version is acceptable). Identify the exact version + that the feature stopped working, if possible. + +If you are uncertain whether the behavior is a bug or what the correct behavior +is, or if you lack a reliable reproducing procedure, post on the forum or ask in +chat first. If you have a subscription, create a support ticket. The team and +community can help identify the issue, work around it, and create an actionable +bug report. + +### Report a Bug + +To open a bug report or feature request, create an account on +[vyos.dev](https://vyos.dev), the public issue tracker for VyOS. + +When creating a new issue, select the appropriate project and: + +- Provide as much information as you can. +- Specify which VyOS version you are using: `run show version`. +- Explain how to reproduce the bug. + +(feature-request)= + +## Feature Requests + +Have an idea to improve VyOS or need a feature that would benefit all users? +Before submitting a feature request, search the public issue tracker +[vyos.dev](https://vyos.dev) to check if a request already exists. You can +also enhance an existing request by providing additional information. + +Create a task before starting work on a feature, +even if it is a trivial feature. +The task tracker generates release notes, so all work must be reflected +in the tracker. + +Include at least the following information: + +- Provide a detailed description of the feature: what it is, how it works, and + how you would use it. Maintainers may not have experience with every feature, + protocol, and tool in VyOS. Detailed information helps VyOS contributors and + maintainers test new features they are unfamiliar with. +- Include proposed CLI syntax if the feature requires new commands. Provide both + configuration and operational mode commands if both are needed. + +Consider including the following information: + +- Is the feature already supported by the underlying component + (FreeRangeRouting, nftables, Kea, etc.)? +- How would you configure the feature manually within that component? +- Are there any limitations to using the feature + (hardware support, resource usage)? +- Are there any adverse or non-obvious interactions with other features? Should + the feature be mutually exclusive? +- Any relevant documentation or references about the feature. + +You do not need to provide all this information, but if you can, it simplifies +developers' work considerably. Research these questions when possible. + +## Task auto-closing + +A special task status exists for when all work by maintainers and contributors +is complete: **Needs reporter action**. + +VyOS assigns this status to: + +- Feature requests that do not include required information and need + clarification. +- Bug reports that lack reproducing procedures. +- Tasks that are implemented and tested by the implementation author, + but require testing in the real-world environment that only the reporter + can replicate (for example, hardware VyOS does not support or specific + network conditions). + +When a task is set to **Needs reporter action**: + +- If the reporter does not respond within two weeks, the task bot adds a comment + ("Any news?") to remind the reporter. +- If there is still no response after another two weeks, + the task is closed automatically. + +We do not auto-close tasks with any other status and do not close tasks due to +lack of maintainer activity. + +[documentation]: https://docs.vyos.io +[forum]: https://forum.vyos.io +[slack]: https://slack.vyos.io -- cgit v1.2.3
