I tend to agree. Want to make something nice to help with bugzilla? How about a page with some good queries already setup for different things that would be common. Say something like searching for all bugs that are NEW that have EBUILD in the KEYWORDS? How about all bugs that have been REOPENED? All bugs that have been RESOLVED-TESTREQUEST? I think these pre-built queries would be much better than yet another page to find bugs. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
