The only two that didn't are gnomemm (already filed - FIXLATER) and arson (simple fix). I haven't tested openoffice yet - will do tonight. I read through the bug-posting guidelines before posting and have a few things I'd like to clarify, though. 1) Unless the bug is obviously high or low priority, is it fine to leave it at P2? 2) If an existing bug report touches on another bug that hasn't been solved but the report is marked as fixed, should a new one be filed for the other bug? See #28227. 3) It is my understanding that all bugs should be submitted to bugs.gentoo.org and they will be pushed upstream if necessary. Is this correct? 4) Somebody's signature in the forums is "feature requests are bugs..." Is this in relation to Gentoo-specific things (portage, livecds, etc.) or does it include upstream packages too? I'm always hesitant to report bugs as I don't want to waste anybody's time. Perhaps, after a few more bug reports I'll become more confident that I'm doing something useful... Regards, Jason -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
