I don’t disagree on the benefits, and everyone who wants to do it that way is welcome to do so. For me, the extra work would be slightly annoying, so I prefer not to do it, and also hope that everyone is fine with that. It would be better if reportbug would immediatelly tell me the version number, so that there is no latency in the process :-) Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nomeata@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: F0FBF51F JID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
