Sorry about that, I did list my goal in the first mail, but it wasn't my real question. My real question concerned how to mass file bugs. Anyway, my real goal is to find lacking dependencies in ebuilds. All the bugs I've discovered so far are discovered as a sideeffect of the main goal which as stated is to find dependency problems. -- Tom Fredrik Blenning Klaussen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
