5 However, tools can be more or less encouraging.

7 Regarding the bug# the bug summary can be automaticly pulled in from
8 bugzilla. Either, after the fact, when reading the ChangeLog or upon
9 submitting it.

11 I'm not familiar with the QA tools currently used by dev. Would it be
12 possible to have theese tools ask the apropritate questions and put them
13 into the ChangeLog?

15 On a related issue, it would be great with a portage-bugzilla tool.
16 emerge --info and other stuff could be handled automaticly. When an
17 ebuild breaks the tool would be invoked to show filed bugs and their
18 links and/or submit a new one.

20 As it is now portage is great tool for distribution, customization,
21 compilation, installation and dependency tracking, it could be a better
22 tool with regards to QA and development.
