Greg Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-30 00:13:42] papercrane at reversefold dot com I've prepared an untested patch which should fix this. Unfortunately, it adds 8 preg_replace calls to handle things. Could probably be pared down to 4 if we combine the 2 bug request regexes. http://www.reversefold.com/PEAR/pearweb.buglink.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-30 00:02:34] helgi at trance dot is Hmm this is way out of my reach, someone with greater knowlagde of this thing has to do it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-29 23:47:01] helgi at trance dot is Actually iirc you were only talking about on the wiki, but well, I still want to support also "Bugs #1, #2 and #4 where fixed" and the code at the moment can't do that, and the stuff that took only "#3" would be able to handle that I guess ... I think in the bug system and in the changelogs, it's much less about people prefixing anything else then bug number with # really. But well I'm going to let it be for now I guess. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-29 23:37:53] papercrane at reversefold dot com I'm the one who talked him out of letting #xxxx link to a bug. It's far too easy to type something like "Look at line #1234". Also, I have a patch which would fix this, but it would take 5x the regexes as it goes a preemptive replace, then puts things back afterwards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-29 23:33:19] helgi at trance dot is I'm not much of a regex person but I'll look into this, also someone removed the ability for #3454 to be turned into a link, at the moment either bug or request has to be infront of it :/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
