Yeah, searching bugzilla can be a pain sometimes. I make use of Gentoo's |
| 17 |
gitweb fairly regularly, and it provides a search function. For example: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/log/?qt=grep&q=vim |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
will show the commits with "vim" in their summary, and the commit messages |
| 22 |
reference the relevant bug. Also, security bugs are often also stabilisation |
| 23 |
bugs, which can help in these specific cases. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
But yeah, that's just the reality of searching bug databases, I guess :-/ . |

I agree, for example the ongoing gpgme issue has annoyed quite a bit. |
| 34 |
However, issues like that happen pretty rarely in my personal experience, |
| 35 |
which makes it more tolerable when they do (and it *was* resolved in about 28 |
| 36 |
hours, IME <48 hours is normal, often even <24 hours). And regarding the |
| 37 |
Emacs remark: as somebody who uses both Vim *and* Emacs (though mostly Vim), I |
| 38 |
just don't *care* about the whole Emacs vs. Vi(m) "debate". |
