Ok this is basically bitching. Trust me we all know the current state of things with bugzilla and it's not fun for anybody. I'm sure however if you practice a little patience I'm sure you will be quite pleased with the end result. > Because it's wasting hours of my time > every day?

It plain sucks. You must live in that town where spare hardware and administrators grow on the trees. As it stands I do not see why this needs to be an agenda item for council discussions. -- Ned Ludd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Linux -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
