Package: pwgen
Version: 2.06-1+b2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I find myself using pwgen usually with the -y option and an increased
password length and have in fact written a wrapper that calls pwgen
with -y 10 always.

I would be nice if I could get around without that wrapper, for
example if pwgen would read a set of default options from ~/.pwgenrc

Greetings
Marc

You couldn't be bothered to check if pwgen even has a config file
before you sent what appears to be a mass bug filing?

For the record, it doesn't have a config file.

For the record, the bug report asked about adding a config file. You
misreacted on Thomas Koch's suggestion about where to place the config
file.

Yes, I know.  He changed the subject line in this bug, which
eliminated what little context the Debian BTS retains, especially
since when there are no In-reply-to headers, so breaking the subject
means it completely destroy mail threading in mutt and most other
MUA's.

I had already reopened the bug, as you might have noticed when your
reopen request failed.

Yes. The reopen mail does not show in the web interface, since it was
only sent to control and not to the bug itself. that got me confused.
