This doesn't seem to be producing any results for most projects at the moment. I'm told this is due to two problems: 1- heat is scaled across the whole of lp, and no other bug in all of free software is as important as the flash plugin crashing ;-) 2- the script to update it is not running? I'm sure they'll be fixed shortly. > In bug listings, there's a new sticking plaster icon that shows you which bugs > have a patch attached.

That's great, it saves a hassle for readonly scripts. -- Martin <http://launchpad.net/~mbp/> _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
