Hi Nick, to report bugs on gentoo, open an account on http://bugs.gentoo.org. Once that is done, we have a package called pybugz which is a python script that is a command line interface to bugzilla. It is not in the stable tree as of yet, so to get it, you have to do the following: echo www-client/pybugz >> /etc/portage/package.keywords emerge pybugz There is not a man page for it as of yet, so once it is installed, you can use the --help option to find out the correct usage. The command it gives you is bugz (spelled with z not s), so you can type: bugz --help Let me know if you have any questions.
