fwiw, this is a better link to share for this purpose: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/describecomponents.cgi?product=kde4 On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 12:38 AM, Danek Duvall <danek.duv...@sun.com> wrote: > Um, wow.

The user accounts have predictable names (replace SPACE with DASH, add PREFIX, add SUFFIX) and are in (or should be in) a distinct namespace [...@defect.opensolars.org]. I count 25 accounts. When I did that last bugzilla.mozilla.org reorg, one of us did quite a few more w/o much concern (we did an entire shift in a roughly 4 hour window -- during which power failed to the hotel <http://www.openbuddha.com/2008/07/31/power-gone-growing-cold-send-help-to-summit/>). It's unfortunate that we haven't actually written a script to actually do this, but believe me, such a contribution would be welcome. _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list tools-discuss@opensolaris.org
