Description Kelly Price 2010-10-23 16:28:31 UTC
I'm been using dev-perl/RTF-Writer on my amd64 system for a few years now for processing my webcomic collections.  It is stable -- see the URL for the results.

(The reason I'm filing this bug is that I'm running perl-cleaner after an update now)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

What is the SPAM URL for? I don't see how that site supposedly proves that RTF-Writer works on amd64. CC'ing userrel@.

Kelly,

I was very close to ban your account until you explained your actions to userrel. Checking your user history I see you've been around for a while and I didn't notice other abuses, so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.
Please explain the purpose and relevance of the link you added to URL.
Comment 3 Kelly Price 2010-10-23 19:24:03 UTC
Oh boy, let me explain.

I use dev-perl/RTF-Writer to robo-layout my webcomic into printed collections.  This is then loaded into OpenOffice, where I finish it off into a PDF and send it to Lulu for publication.  The link is where others can buy the PDFs or get a printed version, proving that it does work on my AMD64 rig.

The main thing is proof it does work.  It may be a bit removed in the process of things, though; I apologize if having that amount of layering makes it look like I'm spamming Bugzilla.  Not my intention at all - I don't want to walk the valley of Cyberpromo.

Ether way, I doubt you want me uploading an 80 meg RTF into Bugzilla as proof. Code for my layout Perl script though I can provide.

I understand your goal now. In the future if you chose to add such a link, you may want to explain why you're doing it.
I see nothing left for userrel here.
