Having to search through bugs.gentoo.org, plus some external site, would increase the time needed to find packages in need of upgrade, as some will be filed as bugs, which would need to be resolved, so they would have to be searched for *anyway* in bugzilla. The most productive thing you could do, would be to figure out a simple way of testing ebuilds, marking them as tested, and assigning them to the proper parties quicker than is being done now. What we really need is to have the AT program extended from just amd64 to every arch, including x86 (which desperately needs an arch team). --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-aWm9hA+EqX3JRks9pyhv Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCky3KkT4lNIS36YERAqmSAKC+WrswAwcD2/LRA63faLZCIWs7RQCguf2V 8+MoGUAzK+wDCSXwh+ekLGw= =1szt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-aWm9hA+EqX3JRks9pyhv-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
