I'd like to bring that topic up again. I just discovered bts-link [0], which is a nice python thingy to link the Debian BTS with Upstream's ones, like the savanah one you use (well better: you have ;)) I personally prefer the Debian way of dealing with bugs. Everything is handled with Mails, but you have a Website where you can check _fast_ if things were forgotten. For you non Debian guys look at [1], that's the PTS (Package Tracking System), you have a nice bug graph and if you click on the 2 numbers behind 'All Bugs' you see all opened and recently bugs (difference between the 2 numbers displayed are merged and unmerged ones) I really don't like to dig through the mailling list archives if something happend with this bug and then needing to bring it up again on the mailling list just that somebody of you look again at it. I don't know the Savanah BTS but I assume with the discussion above between Robert and Marco, I assume it can send mails too. So please use it :) [0] http://bts-link.alioth.debian.org/ [1] http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/grub2.html _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
