Yeah, searching bugzilla can be a pain sometimes. I make use of Gentoo's gitweb fairly regularly, and it provides a search function. For example: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/log/?qt=grep&q=vim will show the commits with "vim" in their summary, and the commit messages reference the relevant bug. Also, security bugs are often also stabilisation bugs, which can help in these specific cases. But yeah, that's just the reality of searching bug databases, I guess :-/ . > OK, everybody makes mistakes. But reading "use emacs" is bound to > touch a few cords.

I agree, for example the ongoing gpgme issue has annoyed quite a bit. However, issues like that happen pretty rarely in my personal experience, which makes it more tolerable when they do (and it *was* resolved in about 28 hours, IME <48 hours is normal, often even <24 hours). And regarding the Emacs remark: as somebody who uses both Vim *and* Emacs (though mostly Vim), I just don't *care* about the whole Emacs vs. Vi(m) "debate". > Regards > > Jorge Almeida Greetings -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup
