While there are thoughts about integrating Gentoo Stable into Bugzilla, there are no efforts currently underway to do this (at least from my side - I know nothing about Bugzilla internals). > gentoo-stable.iq-computing.de is > not official.

It's true that Gentoo Stable is under development, but that doesn't mean it's unusable at all. In fact, it works quite well for what is there, and there's even more to come (as suggestions fly in). > but like I > said, it still is in the development/testing/open for comments stage > and is probably not production ready (again...you should ask maik) As I said above, the system is in a usable state, though not complete yet.

If you ask me, I would _really_ like to see thousands of reports coming in each day. As far as any "official" status is concerned, this is really not up to me. I've spoken with several people, regularly mail to -core about it, and then some. Also there is the thought of integrating it into Bugzilla, or vice versa. (Actually, I don't think using Bugzilla is such a nice idea in the first place, and integrating Gentoo Stable into it makes it even worse. But that's a different story.) -- Maik Schreiber, Gentoo Linux Developer http://www.gentoo.org mailto:blizzy@gentoo.org -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
