I've never submitted a pr, but I've written scripts for bulk web submissions (GET and POST for load testing web apps). Did the previous web pr-interface have any sort of verification process? (e.g. email to submitter) Were there any sanity checks? (e.g. no more than X pr's per Y time) Where would I look to find the *old* web pr interface? --daxbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
