No, the postmaster has nothing to do with the web interface of the PR. > The same was not found by me in the bugs, and www, mailing lists. /me puts bugmaster@FreeBSD.org hat on The web interface is disabled because it was abused by a troll to fill our gnats database with tons of bogus "PRs". I've installed gnats at home and have been trying to find a reasonable chunk of time to change the submission process for the web form to require a verification step that would make it an awful lot more difficult for bogus PRs to enter the databasee but be relatively easy for legitimate submitters who are just being helpful with developing FreeBSD. If you can help with code or ideas towards this end, I'd be *very* glad to get any sort of assistance. - - Giorgos -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+dUkK1g+UGjGGA7YRAmroAJ4yrIJyH7+0me/XawConTLfhnLi+QCfVdv6 3UIwVcwMEJ7nyi7mgDWcYyw= =DQhi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
