Excuse me for sounding a bit grumpy .. but every time I add something |
| 16 |
new in bugzilla its stays in bugzilla and no one is using or looking at |
| 17 |
it (I submitted a bugfix to the gentoo security guide more than one |
| 18 |
month ago). This is how it works with documentation. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
So problems are resolved in the same tempo as with documentation, I can |
| 21 |
understand why someone with problems compiling a package prefers to mail |
| 22 |
it to the list instead of filling out a bug report. |
