Any bug reports go to the same address. I like it :~)
I have always assumed that the distro maintainers were too busy with packaging the distro to deal with anything other than actual package problems. Unless I am sure it is a packaging issue, I do not file a bug report with the distro. For application issues, I look at the app's bug database to see if the issue has already been reported and only submit a bug if there is not already a report. Sometimes I try to build the app myself, but more often, I just wait for the distro to catch up. _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
