Fortunately, we got pulled out of the hole relatively fast, because Duncan Murdoch knew the mechanisms. And fortunately, not every recipient uses those blackhole lists. > Perhaps that's one of many reasons that the Samba folks themselves have > switched to Bugzilla? Andrew Tridgell will have known about the lack of maintenance for a while... The idea of putting a public mailing list into the loop wasn't part of the original design. The code to prevent duplicates from messages sent to both r-bugs and r-devel was a local hack. > > It would be a no-brainer to switch to Bugzilla, were it not for the > > 3000 or so messages that are already sitting in the Jitterbug > > database. > > Might the python script linked at the follow Bugzilla report be of use? > > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124869 > > See the attachment in Comment #1: > > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=69233 > > as the author's web site link appears to be offline.

Yes, I got the bright idea of googling for "jitterbug bugzilla" just after replying as well... It does look quite useful. Not that I speak Python either (Monty excepted), but the scheme he has been converting from - status encoded in the directory name - is quite similar to our slightly simpler Foo/Foo-fixed convention. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
