Hello.

I can see also this misterious dosemu-bugs
list which even I haven't seen, also made
itself public.

No it's not public. You only see it if you are logged in.

Yes, now I see. So you have killed an idiocy only partially:)

submit-bug-report script in dosemu that sends to this address.

To be changed, I hope?

So if you've never seen it, then you haven't looked at this part of DOSEMU :-)

NO! Yes, I haven't looked, but I knew the list does exist, yet I haven't seen it. There was a possibility neither to read nor to subscribe, right?
That always puzzled me. I knew that it gets carefully hidden from the most of the regular developers (not the existant of the list, but its *content*). That always made me think that something goes totally wrong here. Probably that was due to the high spam ratio, but this is unlikely. Other than that, I see no sane reasons, but there probably were an insane ones:)
Very good to see that changing. I knew the sane mind will prevail:)

Non-trivial (and well-written) bug reports were sometimes forwarded to dosemu-devel, so it wasn't exactly completely hidden. It was just a way of sending email to two persons (Hans and Alistair), and later three (Hans, Alistair and myself), just like some people like sending me bug reports privately. Now I don't like private bug reports so that's why I changed the system (after a bit of asking around of course).

So now the one and only reason for dosemu-bugs is the submit-bug-report script, which will stay around for as long as people are using DOSEMU's containing this script. So, if you know a way to connect submit-bug-report to the bug tracker at sourceforge, then let me know :)

It's not too important really (at this stage) -- the last legitimate post to dosemu-bugs was dated June 24 and none of them used submit-bug-report.
