About bts-link, I once offered mi will to integrate it in the qa architecture, but never followed up: I'll try to do it in the next days. >> I've also filed a wishlist on python-btsutils for that : #508812 >> >> The idea is to try and merge in a distinct common library as much of the >> python client interfaces of the BTS as possible.

Well, I'd be very happy to see this goal archived, since I've sponsored it since the proposal came out. I think the best people to discuss (hopefully implement it) is you, Bastian and Don (another cc added ;) ) since the original implementors and the BTS mega-guru :) If I can help, I'd be happy to, but actually my plan is to have a python module to query/manipulate bts from reportbug, so I'm a little agnostic about it. > I'm still willing to help on this process as much as my free time > allows, As all of us :) Cheers, -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, Morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
