With the last changes made on the BTS the script that detects wnpp bugs not following the naming convention it stopped working so I wrote a small replacement using SOAP and it was fairly fast and easy. Just make sure to select only open bugs (and probably also ignore the pending ones) and call status() with the whole list of bugs (eval is your friend in this case). Doing it that way was, as I said, fast an easy. Sadly I don't have that script anymore because by some reason I stored it under /tmp (it was a test, so...) but never under my $HOME. > > Adam > > Cheers, -- Atomo64 - Raphael Please avoid sending me Word, PowerPoint or Excel attachments.
