The problem I'm ha= ving=20 is I can't seem to find them in bugzilla. So could some one point me in t= he=20 right direction in a couple of things: 1) Some docs on using bugzilla from the users perspective not the impleme= ntors=20 perspective. 2) How it is setup for gentoo. What is related to what so I can find what= I=20 want.=20 I've tried searching for reported bugs but all I have been able to find i= s=20 just a list of bug numbers and who it is assigned to but that does not re= ally=20 indicate what is being worked on and what is not. The only way I can find= a=20 description of a bug is to individulay read each bug. There has to be a=20 better way to do this.=20 Any ways once I figure bugzilla out I fully intend to start working on an= y=20 ebuild issues I find. Both enhancements new packages and update types.=20 Another question why doesn't bugzilla inform you when someone leaves a co= mment=20 about a bug you filed? I filed a bug and I looked at it yesterday and fou= nd=20 that someone had sugested a solution to the problem but I was not aware o= f it=20 until I looked. I thought bugzilla would have sent me a email indicating = the=20 new comment so I don't have to go and check on it every day.=20 Richard
