Just for those following along at home: 18:41:41 <dondelelcaro> vorlon: (re archiving) the problem is that the distribution tags are currently used for indicating whehter bugs are archiveable or not in a particular distribution 18:43:04 <dondelelcaro> vorlon: I could change the code to tell whether or not any of the distribution specific tags have been set and then use them inpreference to the default set for archival, and use a different default set for RC bugs, but while the code isn't hard, explaining to anyone how it works is a PITA. 18:43:39 <dondelelcaro> (evidenced by the fact that I'm not sure anyone will understand what I've just said) Don Armstrong -- "Ban cryptography! Yes. Let's also ban pencils, pens and paper, since criminals can use them to draw plans of the joint they are casing or even, god forbid, create one time pads to pass uncrackable codes to each other. Ban open spaces since criminals could use them to converse with each other out of earshot of the police. Let's ban flags since they could be used to pass secret messages in semaphore. In fact let's just ban all forms of verbal and non-verbal communication -- let's see those criminals make plans now!" http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
