Righto, I could do some of that. Coincidentally I've been taking a casual rummage around it in the past few days. One suggestion, one question: Given the limited (two-level) hierarchy in there, it might be a bit less cluttered to add a "cygwin-apps" product, and create components underneath that for the individual packages, rather than adding them all into the main cygwin product; that would also mirror the cygwin-apps/cygwin-developers distinction in the lists. Is there any way to completely delete a bug and all traces of it from the db *without* mailing the original poster (and preferably less drastic thatn using a command-line SQL client on src)? It would be nice to delete #5249, #5319, #5353, #5354 and #5629 without sending my email address to the spammer who entered them... cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today....
