mdadm (3.3.2-5) unstable; urgency=medium
* use-tempnode-not-devnode.patch: change udev rules file to use $tempnode which works both on wheezy and jessie udev, instead of $devnode which only works in jessie. At this stage it is better to make rules file compatible with old version instead of adding versioned dependency. Should be removed for jessie+1. (Closes: #770883) * fix Closes: list in previous entry (Closes: #771852) # imported from the archive

+Reporting bugs against mdadm
+============================
+Before reporting bugs against mdadm, please read the README documents, as well
+as the FAQ in /usr/share/doc/mdadm . Most issues that are reported against the
+mdadm package are adequately answered therein.
+
+In particular, please do not file bugs about mdadm assembling arrays too
+early, e.g. when the driver is not yet ready and device nodes do not exist.
+Check FAQ item 27 about use of the rootdelay parameter instead.
+
+Also, please check out http://bugs.debian.org/mdadm and make sure that the
+issue you are facing has not already been reported.
+
+If you are not sure that the answer you are seeking is in those files, or you
+are not sure that you are facing a genuine bug, please approach
+debian-user@lists.debian.org or linux-raid@vger.kernel.org with your
+question(s).
+
+Gathering information relevant to mdadm as root
+===============================================
+If you are not reporting bugs as root (which you should not), you will be
+prompted to give permission to run a script to collect relevant information
+from your system as the root user. Only the root user has access to some
+information that might be relevant to the bug report you are about to file.
+
+** Please give permission to run the script as root when asked momentarily.
+
+If you would rather obtain the same information manually, you can run
+ /usr/share/bug/mdadm/script 3>&1
+as root and include or attach the output.
