+
+<p>
+The Mesa bug database is hosted on
+<a href="http://freedesktop.org" target="_parent">freedesktop.org</a>.
+The old bug database on SourceForge is no longer used.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To file a Mesa bug, go to
+<a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mesa"
+target="_parent">
+Bugzilla on freedesktop.org</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Please follow these bug reporting guidelines:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Check if a new version of Mesa is available which might have fixed
+the problem.
+<li>Check if your bug is already reported in the database.
+<li>Monitor your bug report for requests for additional information, etc.
+<li>If you're reporting a crash, try to use your debugger (gdb) to get a stack
+trace. Also, recompile Mesa in debug mode to get more detailed information.
+<li>Describe in detail how to reproduce the bug, especially with games
+and applications that the Mesa developers might not be familiar with.
+<li>Provide a simple GLUT-based test program if possible
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Bug reports will automatically be forwarded by bugzilla to the Mesa
+developer's mailing list.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The easier a bug is to reproduce, the sooner it will be fixed.
+Please do everything you can to facilitate quickly fixing bugs.
+If your bug report is vague or your test program doesn't compile
+easily, the problem may not be fixed very quickly.
