[gentoo-portage-dev] 2005-07-24 ~ 2005-07-28 Portage Bug Summary

[Jason Stubbs]

Hi all,

First bug summary. Only four days worth here but, in light of my previous
announcement, I figure that I should send it out early. Next one will come on
Tuesday and then on Sundays after that.

I've done no cleaning of this list whatsoever so you'll find some of these
are already closed, are duplicates or aren't portage bugs at all. I've
ordered it by number of changes followed by reverse bug number. The theory
goes that the bugs that are important (at least to users) and the bugs
that are likely to be easy to fix will float to the top.

If you're interested in helping, start at the top and investigate downward
until you hit something that tickles your fancy. Then see if you can figure
out what's going wrong and post some patches (either here or bugs.gentoo.org,
preferably both). These are only bugs that have gone to dev-portage@g.o
but, if there is demand, I can automate some similar reports for tools-portage
and sandbox as well.
