From 6d4785e75e1552b3f04b1499fede6fdef2732c39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "W. Trevor King" Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2008 16:15:16 -0500 Subject: Created and fixed bug 496edad5-1484-413a-bc68-4b01274a65eb. I figured out why Arch was complaining. For non-Arch users, file system access has been tweaked a bit see the BugDir doc string for details. Also, you should now set BugDir.rcs instead of .rcs_name. .rcs_name automatically tracks changes in .rcs (the reverse of the previous situation), so read from whichever you like. --- .../8d927822-eff9-42c4-9541-8b784b3f7db2/body | 29 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 29 insertions(+) create mode 100644 .be/bugs/496edad5-1484-413a-bc68-4b01274a65eb/comments/8d927822-eff9-42c4-9541-8b784b3f7db2/body (limited to '.be/bugs/496edad5-1484-413a-bc68-4b01274a65eb/comments/8d927822-eff9-42c4-9541-8b784b3f7db2/body') diff --git a/.be/bugs/496edad5-1484-413a-bc68-4b01274a65eb/comments/8d927822-eff9-42c4-9541-8b784b3f7db2/body b/.be/bugs/496edad5-1484-413a-bc68-4b01274a65eb/comments/8d927822-eff9-42c4-9541-8b784b3f7db2/body new file mode 100644 index 0000000..dfcf82c --- /dev/null +++ b/.be/bugs/496edad5-1484-413a-bc68-4b01274a65eb/comments/8d927822-eff9-42c4-9541-8b784b3f7db2/body @@ -0,0 +1,29 @@ +I was having problems with `python test.py bugdir` with the Arch +backend.
