Interesting, on most newer ticketing systems I've seen if you are about to make a change there is typically some kind of UI element (checkbox) that says something like 'suppress notifications.' An oft-used feature by me anyway when making cosmetic changes or making a number of changes at once. This assumes of course that anyone interested in the bug will actually visit it to see the full set of updates; not always the care for me and I imagine other users as well. -A > > Or, if there was a way to attach files as part of the initial filing, but > if there is, I've not found it. > > Alternatively, for normal bugs at least, maybe attaching emerge --info ca= n > be made a part of the process, with the post-submit note saying the bug > won't be reported until that second step. =C2=A0(Then for bugs that clear= ly > don't need it, where the bug's clearly in an initscript or something, hav= e > a checkbox on that second step saying "emerge --info shouldn't be needed > for this.") =C2=A0That would both encourage emerge --info submission AND > prevent one layer of bug spam at the same time! =3D:^) > > -- > Duncan - List replies preferred. =C2=A0 No HTML msgs. > "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- > and if you use the program, he is your master." =C2=A0Richard Stallman > > >
