14 before submitting a feature request!</strong>
18 Feature requests should be submitted to the

20 A more detailed set of <a href="feature-request.html#steps">submission steps</a>
25 The "Enter Issue" links on this page,
26 by default, create a <tt>FEATURE</tt> request,
27 a request for completely new SCons functionality.
28 If your request is for modified behavior
29 of an already-existing SCons feature,
30 you may wish to change the Issue type
31 to an <tt>ENHANCEMENT</tt> request.
32 If you're not sure, leave the issue as a <tt>FEATURE</tt> request;
33 it can be reclassified in the future, if necessary.

38 <h2 id="steps">Steps for Submitting a Feature Request</h2>
41 The following guides you step-by-step through the
42 process of submitting a feature request.
47 <strong><a href="http://www.tigris.org/servlets/Login">Log in</a> at tigris.org</strong>
49 If you do not already have a tigris.org account,
50 you can register for one at
51 <a href="http://www.tigris.org/servlets/Join">http://www.tigris.org/servlets/Join</a>.
54 You can still submit a feature request anonymously, without logging in.
55 If you choose not to create a tigris.org account,
56 putting some identifying contact information
57 in the description will be helpful in case
58 the feature request requires some clarification.
63 <a href="http://scons.tigris.org/issues/enter_bug.cgi?subcomponent=scons&issue_type=FEATURE">"Enter issue" page</a>
66 By default, the "scons" subcomponent is selected;
67 if this bug is for a different subcomponent, select that instead.
71 <strong>Fill in a good Summary line describing the feature you're requesting</strong>
73 This line is what shows up in summary reports,
74 so it should be descriptive but not too long.
78 <strong>Fill in the Description field</strong>
80 This is where you should go into detail
81 about what you'd like to see SCons do differently.
82 When in doubt, include more information rather than less.
86 <strong>Press the "Submit issue" to submit your request</strong>
88 You will now receive a <tt>Posting issue</tt> page
89 that gives you the number of the issue you submitted.
90 If you want to attach a file to your feature request,
91 you can do so by clicking the
92 <tt>Attach a file to this issue</tt>
93 link and using that page to upload a file.
