Sticky about bug reporting
-
As I am ready to jump of a bridge because of my frustrations about the buggy OpenVPN-client stuff (https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=76734.0), I posted this there:
@Hollander:
Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to report bugs? I do understand it is impossible for the admins/mods to see every thread on this forum.
I am, of course, a member on many fora, not just IT but others too, and most of them have a special 'the stickies'-section. It would greatly improve efficiency (which we economists love ;D ). It avoids the same 1001 questions 1001 times again. Bug reporting is just one of them. How to 'github' (I still don't know how to do that), how to give the required tech info when posting a help thread, and so on.

There are instructions on bug reporting:
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Bug_reporting
Basically if you've got a real bug open a ticket on Redmine (the pfSense bug tracker).
I think you must mean 'gitsync', pull down the lastest code from the pfSense git repo (on github) to test any fixes.

It's not put out in a more obvious fashion because we get too many bunk bug reports as it is. Like the linked thread, there doesn't appear to be any legit bugs there (short of the package reinstall getting stuck, which has an open ticket already), everything is behaving as you've configured it to.
