15 before submitting a feature request!</strong>
19 Feature requests should be submitted to the
20 <a href="http://scons.tigris.org/issues/enter_bug.cgi?component=scons&subcomponent=scons&issue_type=FEATURE">"Enter Issue" page</a>.
21 A more detailed set of <a href="feature-request.html#steps">submission steps</a>
26 The "Enter Issue" links on this page,
27 by default, create a <tt>FEATURE</tt> request,
28 a request for completely new SCons functionality.
29 If your request is for modified behavior
30 of an already-existing SCons feature,
31 you may wish to change the Issue type
32 to an <tt>ENHANCEMENT</tt> request.
33 If you're not sure, leave the issue as a <tt>FEATURE</tt> request;
34 it can be reclassified in the future, if necessary.

56 due to spambot abuse of the open-door policy.
61 <a href="http://scons.tigris.org/issues/enter_bug.cgi?component=scons&subcomponent=scons&issue_type=FEATURE">"Enter issue" page</a>
64 By default, the "scons" subcomponent is selected;
65 if this bug is for a different subcomponent, select that instead.
69 <strong>Fill in a good Summary line describing the feature you're requesting</strong>
71 This line is what shows up in summary reports,
72 so it should be descriptive but not too long.
76 <strong>Fill in the Description field</strong>
78 This is where you should go into detail
79 about what you'd like to see SCons do differently.
80 When in doubt, include more information rather than less.
84 <strong>Press the "Submit issue" to submit your request</strong>
86 You will now receive a <tt>Posting issue</tt> page
87 that gives you the number of the issue you submitted.
88 If you want to attach a file to your feature request,
89 you can do so by clicking the
90 <tt>Attach a file to this issue</tt>
91 link and using that page to upload a file.
