Hi Andrew,
just a quick note on a message someone submitted which sounded something
like "can anyone do anything with this because it's not a bzip, bzip2 or
tar?" You replied that running the command created a bzip2 (I think), but
I'm pretty sure he was referring to your attached script. And (if I'm not
mistaken), the answer to his question is "it's neither: it's a plain text
file which, when given executable permissions, can be run directly". Am I
right?
Second, I recall a recent thread where the future of spell submissions
was discussed. I believe the final outcome was that spells will
eventually also be submitted via bugzilla. My question to you is: do you
think you could add functionality to your script to enter the submitted
spell appropriately in bugzilla?
(Perhaps anyone who knows bugzilla pretty well can answer this?)
Just a thought!
