Typically, you - want to get a stack trace when Evolution crashes or - hangs and you want to try to figure out where in the - code that happened and why. For this reason, stack - traces are extremely useful for the Evolution - developers, so it's important that you learn how to get - them, and include them in crash reports. The - <application>bug-buddy</application> tool can get and - submit a stack trace for you. If you want to do it by - yourself, here's how: - </para> - <para> - First of all, in order to get a stack trace, your - executable (and possibly the libraries) must be compiled - with debugging symbols. Debugging symbols are created by - default if you compile from CVS, and are included in the - snapshot builds. If you decide to compile by yourself - with some custom CFLAGS value, make sure -g is included - in them. - </para> - <para> - Finally, you must put the component that crashes through - <application>gdb</application>, the GNU debugging tool. - To do so, make sure all the components are dead (exit - Evolution and run <command>killev</command>), then run the - following command: - <programlisting> - <command>gdb name-of-component</command> - </programlisting> - - Where "name-of-component" is the name of the component that - crashed. - </para> - <para> - Then, at the gdb prompt, type r (for "run") and wait a - few seconds to make sure the component has registered - with the name service. Then start - <application>Evolution</application> normally from a - different terminal. - </para> - <para> - When you have started - <application>Evolution</application>, reproduce the - crash, and go back to the terminal where you ran gdb. If - the component crashed, you should have a prompt there; - otherwise, just hit Control+C. At the prompt, type - <command>info threads</command>. This will give you a - screen that looks like this: - </para> - <para> - <programlisting> -(gdb) info threads - 8 Thread 6151 (LWP 14908) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 7 Thread 5126 (LWP 14907) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 6 Thread 4101 (LWP 1007) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 5 Thread 3076 (LWP 1006) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 4 Thread 2051 (LWP 1005) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 3 Thread 1026 (LWP 1004) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 2 Thread 2049 (LWP 1003) 0x40a10d90 in poll () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 1 Thread 1024 (LWP 995) 0x40a10d90 in poll () from /lib/libc.so.6 - </programlisting> - - For the most part, only - <application>evolution-mail</application> will have more - than one thread. - </para> - <para> - Now, for each of the threads listed, type the following commands: -<programlisting> -thread N -bt -</programlisting> - Where 'N' is the number of the thread (in this example, 1 - through 8). - </para> - <para> - Cut and paste all the output gdb gives you into a text - file.

- <title>What is a Mailing List?</title>
- <para>
- Mailing Lists are one of the most popular tools for
- group collaboration on the Internet. Here's how they work:
- <simplelist>
- <member>
- Someone sends a message to a single address, like
- <email>evolution@ximian.com</email>.
- </member>
- <member>
- That address belongs to a program that distributes
- the message to a list of recipients.
- </member>
- </simplelist>
- The mail management program lets individuals subscribe
- to or unsubscribe from the list at will, without
- requiring the message writers to remember the addresses
- of every recipient.
- </para>
- <para>
- Mailing list servers can also let network administrators
- control mail flow, list membership, and even moderate
- the content of mailing lists.
