# SANE - Reporting Bugs

The SANE bug tracker can be used to report bugs or missing features in sane-backends, sane-frontends or the web pages. Please be as specific as possible and use an appropriate category. Add as much information as possible to the report. Have a look at the list of categories and groups to decide which one to use:

## Categories

- None: If you don't know which category to chose, use None. One of the SANE developers will select the right category later.
- backends (drivers): All bugs concerning the backends. E.g. if your scans have wrong colors. Please mention the name of the backend and the manufacturer and name of the scanner. Example: gt68xx: Artec Ultima 2000 scans are completely red
- scanimage, xscanimage, and xcam: For bugs concerning one of these frontends. To make sure if it's really a frontend problem, check if the bug happens only with that frontend.
- saned: Bugs concerning the SANE network scanning daemon with SANE.
- documentation: Bugs, missing information, spelling mistakes in the manual pages, READMEs or other documentation coming with SANE.
- website: Wrong or missing information, spelling mistakes, and dead links on the SANE website.
- sanei, porting, and sane standard are (almost) only relevant for developers. sanei is used for bugs in the SANE internal functions. porting is for bugs concerning compilation and installation of SANE on various platforms. If something should be changed in our API, sane standard should be used as category.
- general: This category should be used for bugs/feature requests concerning SANE as a whole.

## Groups

- None: Used for most bugs.
- wishlist: If you submit a feature request and not a bug, use this group.
- security: Bugs that can affect the security of the system. E.g. buffer overflows in saned or temporary file issues.
- standard-compliance: If a backend or frontend fails to comply with the SANE standard.
