Or is 'category'... Set VISUAL to your favourite editor and run "send-pr" with no arguments. It's practically self-documenting from there. The only thing not really covered is how to judge Severity and Priority. Practically, I think the best thing to do is look at the PR database and gauge common use. If you like things gooey, try sysutils/gtk-send-pr (but note that a fix for CC is on the way). -Andrew- -- _______________________________________________________________________ | -Andrew J.
