Hello, I've written a small script that lists all installed packages that have RC bugs. This is hacked from wnpp-alert from devscripts and is called rcbugs-alert.
This may help people who want to help QA by figuring out how to patch these bugs. The principle is that people who use a package would like to see its bugs squashed. Regards, Kapil. encl: rcbugs-alert (A bash script which depends on w3m/lynx) --
