A much simpler method would be to disallow unversioned -done if there are found versions, and mark bugs that have found versions but no fixed versions as open even if they have been -done'd. This way notfixed would "do the right thing" in making the bug appear to be open, but would remain commutative. We could then additionally deprecate reopen in favor of found+submitter and finish retiring close as well. Don Armstrong -- I now know how retro SCOs OSes are. Riotous, riotous stuff. How they had the ya-yas to declare Linux an infant OS in need of their IP is beyond me. Upcoming features? PAM. files larger than 2 gigs. NFS over TCP. The 80's called, they want their features back. -- Compactable Dave http://www3.sympatico.ca/dcarpeneto/sco.html http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
