What matters for the ftp tooling is just the bug title, pretty much. That's one single email... -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`.

Sounds like a use case for devscript's mass-bug(1). Cheers, -- James GPG Key: 4096R/91BF BF4D 6956 BD5D F7B7 2D23 DFE6 91AE 331B A3DB

As Thorsten wrote above[1] every single package needs its own bug to enable ftpmaster removing the binary packages of 32bit architectures for about 40 packages (currently affected by testing removals). I hope there is some better solution than sending single bug reports for those packages. If ftpmaster tooling really needs single bug reports I wonder how I can automatically create such bug reports with always the same text, just targeting at different binary packages. This also should include some means to work around the less than 5 bug reports per hour SPAM protection means of BTS. Any help would be welcome Andreas.
