The one big disadvantage of a mailing list: You don't see all reports for a package. So you have to search (not always easy) or remember the one mail for the problem you currently have found. This can by already done with bugzilla, but it currenlty takes much to many steps to get to that point and even more the then create a new problem report - so searching the mailing list is currently easier. If bugzilla would be enhanced in a way that you only have to paste the package name (+version) in it and then see all open problem reports and could create a new problem report for it with one more click, it would be probably used... -- Michael Reinsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://mr.uue.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------
