We just have the mailing lists and the > issue tracker :) I'll try to remember that in CentOS, "issue" usually means "bug" or "problem:-)" I found myself wondering what on earth Johnny was talking about a few moments ago. I have learned a fairly liberal interpretation of "bug," which can reasonably include documentation problems (including absence and lack of clarity) and suggestions for improvement. And design and even specification errors: it seems to me the fact that mkisofs can modify its source tree is a bug even though this behaviour is documented. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list
