Well, since I'm going on vacation as of *now*, it's not going to happen until August... Re. the last point, it does require that package maintainers play along. They have not been very good at closing issues in the Add-on section of the current bug repo, which is why we currently recommend users to approach the maintainer directly. As a general matter, nobody is going to do bug repository maintenance as a full-time job, so we need to go with a turnkey solution like Bugzilla. We're likely going to lose the mailing list integration as we know it -- we can probably send a copy of all bug reports to r-devel, but there's not going to be a nice way to save the followups automagically. Users will also likely be requested to obtain a password and login before submitting a bug. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
