I understand (some|many) may feel it's [shall we say] less-than-desirable. But I think it can be improved, and yes, I think the time to do it, is worth it. :) I don't know that bugzilla is necessarily the best-thing-since-sliced-bread, either. They both have their pluses, and minuses. Kinda' like the argument over SVN-v-CVS | FreeBSD-v-Linux -- depends upon who you're talking to. No? :) As to better being a "new port". I guess I don't have a real issue with that. It just seemed trivial to make it generic enough to work with [any] gnats4. So I thought it worth keeping it in the tree. With the intention of making it use _any_ gnats4 bug||database. In the _very_ near future. While also adding support for the [current] (bugzilla) pr(1), used now. In the end. I'll let you decide. My life won't come to an end, which ever choice you make. ;) I can re-introduce it, if need be. Thanks for all your time, John. --Chris -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
