That's especially true when I know=20 I'm going to be attaching 2-3 addition files, emerge --info, build log,=20 maybe sth else like a config file or even a patch, where I know the=20 wranglers are going to get all those extra mails. Or, if there was a way to attach files as part of the initial filing, but= =20 if there is, I've not found it. Alternatively, for normal bugs at least, maybe attaching emerge --info ca= n=20 be made a part of the process, with the post-submit note saying the bug=20 won't be reported until that second step. (Then for bugs that clearly=20 don't need it, where the bug's clearly in an initscript or something, hav= e=20 a checkbox on that second step saying "emerge --info shouldn't be needed=20 for this.") That would both encourage emerge --info submission AND=20 prevent one layer of bug spam at the same time! =3D:^) --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
