I'm in group-per-product mode. :-) Well, list of group, or list of bugs. Still not very traditional. Here are my thoughts before turning in for the night: 1) nnbugzilla will have to be reasonable fast for it to be used 2) Gnus needs article number counts for nnbugzilla to be interesting to use (I want to see whether there has been new discussion of a bug or bugs I'm watching) 3) There are many, many different versions of bugzilla out there, and none of the ones I have seen have commands that give us 2). Issuing one http call for each bug report in the active list means that 1) is impossible Therefore, the only solution is to add a new, server-side mechanism, nntp.cgi, which will (basically) output an active file. It'll list bug number, product, and short description, as well as the number of responses it has had. And then Gnus can do the rest on the client side. So to use nnbugzilla, you will have to be, or know, the bugzilla admin. I can't see any other way to make this work. Which is a bit of a disappointment, because it would be nice to just be able to point Gnus at a random Bugzilla repository and have it work. I may be overlooking something, though. :-) Sleep now. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
