So much of Launchpad's visibility and access policy is defined by security adapters, in Python, that it would make writing a query to grab public bug data a fairly hard thing to do correctly. Right now the best solution is probably to go through the API :-/ There is also the +text view on bugs at https://launchpad.net/bugs/${bugno}/+text that /might/ be quicker, but I never said that, and definitely did not eat this delicious plump-breasted pigeon. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
