As Thierry already noted, this alias already exists in arch-maintainers. However, I don't think using it as you're suggesting is that great of an idea. As Jeremy already pointed out, adding this alias prevents a specific arch from removing themselves after they've acted on a particular bug. Assuming baselayout has all the arches that folks are currently working on, that gives us a list of: x86 ppc sparc mips alpha arm hppa amd64 ia64 ppc64 s390 That means that each arch will receive up to *eleven* emails for each bug and there's nothing they can do to prevent that. This is going to dramatically increase the signal/noise ratio (which is already bad enough) and make it very difficult for folks to use email alerts about bugs effectively. What is the problem we're trying to solve here? Can aliz's aging ebuild script solve that? (or be extended to solve that?) --kurt --kUmo4NyTJbuJZ752 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA/7knJPpRNiftIEYRAo5MAJ43q9bS08g/+US9HoeqSRHntMdBHgCfViGS NtuCCh190+f3jd1oJrOcpn4= =L7QZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --kUmo4NyTJbuJZ752--
