This is a good suggestion, if it is possible.  I just did a search and 
I found that I couldn't find one of the bugs I submitted, even though 
it was on my login page.  Clicking on it did not bring it up.

I have had issues with atrpms and have decided to stop using it.  This 
is my choice based on "my" experiences.  My biggest issue is when an 
update for an application is available on another site, I cannot use 
it due to strange dependencies.  I have had to spend hours removing 
many applications to resolve all the dependency issues.  I don't like 
having to use the nodeps options.  Issues that I have yet to find with 
any other repo that I have used.

I have received the WON'T FIX response as well and in the search I did 
before posting this, there were 20 bug's that were closed with the 
WONT FIX response.  In Axel's credit, most were due to issues outside 
his control.

I give credit to anyone that manages a repo.  It is hard work and they 
deserve credit.  Anyone that has worked in customer support should 
recognize the stress that this causes.  At least with Linux, we have 
choices that are not available with the other OS.  I made mine and I 
will leave it up to others to make theirs.  This is choice which is 
one of the things Linux is all about.
