For example, > > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=275909&mbox=yes Err, no, I don't want to reformat the bug page itself, I want to reformat the result of the bug "overview" where my 88+ bugs are displayed, i.e. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?maint=ch@debian.org So the easiest would be if I could just make a "pkgreport2.cgi" which copies all the query code but then displays the results with a different function. I just fear that you won't let put my scripts onto the official server that's why I hoped to get a good idea from you. Else I will have to "parse" the HTML that pkgreport.cgi returns. bye, -christian-
