[darcs-users] [Roundup-users] ANN: ru 0.1.1 -- CLI for Roundup BTS

[anatoly techtonik]

Hi, here goes the criticism.

This script is a little limited. It is not in Python, so windows users
won't be able to use it. It seems to rely on several external programs
and this will limit its audience too.

Having a script to interface with bt written in Python will increase
its adoption and chances for patches.
