I don't think it's very easy to 'guess' when the text that matches the regexp "\<bin/[0-9]\>" can be turned to a link and when it shouldn't :( The query-pr web interface doesn't understand what the text means. I try to avoid this by writing "The PR #16990 ..." which is equivalent as far as gnats is concerned, since the category number doesn't really matter very much when searching for a particular PR number. The many different categories are more useful to organise PRs rather than query for or refer to them. After all, a PR can change categories during its lifetime :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-www" in the body of the message
