There are actually relatively few bug reports, we're only on Bug 4171... Given that we've been probably using Bugzilla since the beginning of the 9.1 cycle... and there were some bugs in there already that's not too bad. If you add in every comment on each of those bugs the number of messages increases substaintially. > Of course, every time I try to run complex bugzilla searches, I get 500 > Internal Server Errors.... If that's the case then those problems should be filed as bug reports against Bugzilla itself so Warly can fix them. > Again, I ask from ignorance, but would it be possible to register with > Bugzilla for a product category (rather than a specific bug) so that you > would get mails for any activity in that product category ? If we were making full use of Bugzilla there would be a way to either watch categories of bugs or at least specific packages bugs. Maintainers already basically get this. I don't see why other people who are interested in a package shouldn't get this benefit too. It helps pull the signal from the noise. Should increase contributions and would hopefully cause more bugs to be fixed without the maintainer/employee of having to do the foot work of figuring the issue out. But I've made these suggestions in the past and nobody seemed all that interested in them. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "What upsets me is not that you lied to me, but that from now on I can no longer believe you." -- Nietzsche
