To report a bug to debexpo, please fill-in an issue at this URL:

https://salsa.debian.org/mentors.debian.net-team/debexpo/issues

Include as much information as you can. We must be able to reproduce the crash in order to fix it.

If you have enough knowledge (or willingness to learn) python, django and debian packaging, you can help hacking debexpo code to add new feature or fix bugs reported on the issue tracker.

The current workflow for contributing is:

• Fork debexpo project to your personal workspace
• Work on a dedicated branch. (you can prefix your branch by fix/, feature/, doc/)
• When the hack is ready AND covered by tests, create a new merge request against the live branch for us to review.

We do ask that any code added/modified is covered by tests before merging.

Don't hesitate to join us on IRC (detail below).

Translation for debexpo are managed by the weblate project:

https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/debexpo/

We will pull translation periodically from weblate and synchronize it to debexpo main repository.

When a language is at least 95% translated, it will become available on mentors.debian.net. If it fall under 75%, it will be removed from available languages.

You can reach us by email using the address support@mentors.debian.net.

For any question, we also are available on the IRC channel #debexpo from the OFTC network.
