I said HTTP interface. I did not say web interface. I have not commented on making a web frontend to the BTS. I was suggesting using HTTP as an alternative transport mechanism since it would require less configuration on the user's part. Any GUI bug reporter/reportbug could transmit information to the BTS via HTTP, and it would be easy to slap a web frontend on top of that if people so desired. It would definitely easier than building one off of the SMTP interface we have currently. -- -Will Orr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
