This is the sort of thing that I'm finding confusing. Is this your work flow because you are the primary developer and are therefore frequently working under the hood, or because this is the prescribed procedure? The tag sharing process that nmbug is using is complicated and subtle enough that you should make it very clear what the "proper" procedure is, and what are the "under the hood" commands that one should never really have to use. I've been following pretty closely and I'm still kind of confused. I'm sure that others coming to it now because they're seeing this posting to the list might share that confusion. Maybe it would help if you could follow up with a good how-to that describes how someone could start using nmbug with a nicely defined prescribed procedure. jamie. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJOvd1aAAoJEO00zqvie6q8PqIP/2j7GzN3NIonglakGj7HVhRo 9QWHn16CbI/D130QCs+zyzI7a7X6YQ0k5XfXnFpaxzYSWT5H1kJ73AEW7wc9N5wK h54WVmoGJSM1OIZ03cvqbqGuHz/45wc8LZvHGSBRI5PAJDRKwAhkClCXXnMLHaXV DYadksu4oIb77kejRu+iyUQTaQwoM/k+XKvPAI+IJw2Dd4cVNaliqwZbYcxMeOmp QoSOJ/RZPZfUjDDDqrlRc4wbz//JEaWVjNY8IH8SgZHayWN9bMaq7HrIZ4mb2FGk Chm+aoKHGXRLsUM5XiyVmOyjiK2eu08VwVnsn3yZGXw/zP3ucbr8YgjvZcIdmG+x zzYDW2Gj4oxxZIb242/CSh5UPxLntT58Mz+yCO/+T2oOGU6befvfINSA4frmrANQ Rc6APrz+6Qi2pkRDwop6EvFMTAOD3DQ/jL+jyPEK8bGIwAXgZy8CIswa6umDPvEo U+Ogyh+Zlh15Ds2JnwwJsSO7ivertg1Mp6i+YKhtNNJzZnY6xNTrxpeXMCWtL5nV 3N6GC0ZBGDewOye0qfRqxoq7u89/ATeox5aKPbsNok+dE0JeI0qEYTAgZYCiN5Zv /4K6mHKST3NMjjkxtMqXpX+OIdPZcQz3hCbi9ZXYtrtpkpv5C6Ke10yyv9AZJV6O ihDg8PgwhZw3LJe3lS4M =LCgG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
