There are (at least) 2 problems which might delay publishing a little bit: - The SOAP interface does not support querying bug subjects yet. I'm investigating, whether this could be enhanced. - My code uses soap-client.el from . I've asked Alex Harsanyi, the author, for signing FSF legal papers, and he agreed. So we must wait, until this procedure is finished. >> .

It shouldn't be a problems when handled via SOAP. >> . It seems not to support more than one keyword.

It's > the same that you would use in the search-by-subject field in the web > interface. I have in mind a simple interface. Strings, separated by spaces, are used as AND concatenation. For the time being this could be in the bug's subject, but I would also like to have a full text search in the future. If the search is directed to other bug attributes, it could be prefixed by the attribute, like "package:gnus" or "submitter:tassilo@member.fsf.org". > Bye, > Tassilo Best regards, Michael.
