This is verging on that oft requested thing that Gentoo could do with, a sort of task queue for regular and repeated tasks that can be described in one line and aren't worthy of a full bug. ie: Version Bumps, stabilisation requests, generic repeated transformations ( ie: make the metadata better, etc ) Things that if they really needed a full blown bug could be cross-linked with bugzilla, but wouldn't need be the default option. Though, thats really an entirely different discussion, I'm just teasing the subject so ideas brew and the discussion eventually turns up. -- Kent perl -e "print substr( \"edrgmaM SPA NOcomil.ic\\@tfrken\", \$_ * 3, 3 ) for ( 9,8,0,7,1,6,5,4,3,2 );" http://kent-fredric.fox.geek.nz
