Well, then, if that's the case, I'd say go for it. HOWEVER, it seems that perhaps maintaining the current bug file format (except, of course, splitting up bugs between files) might get one "there" faster than hoping for -- or hacking on -- an RFC822 parser.

This is true. However, good _release_ management has everything to do with prioritizing energy and focus, and having dependable processes. ~ESP -- Evan Prodromou evan@glug.org _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
