The nice thing about tickets is that they are more durable than email. They stay visible until closed. Witness the one ticket on lm_sensors that is 7 years old. One nice goal is to be able to close all tickets that are 'old' where old may be a year or 6 months or any reasonable duration. Right now we have only 9 tickets more than 5 weeks old old. I'd love to get them closed. I should get bazaar and k3b done this week. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
