Not in general, afaics -- and ensuring that is likely wise, so thx for this. But for Link: and Closes: tags after a Reported-by it is already checked, that's what I meant (and didn't communicate well, sorry). It's just a detail, but might be wise to do this in patch 4: - } elsif ($rawlines[$linenr] !~ m{^$link_tags_search\s*https?://}i) { + } elsif ($rawlines[$linenr] !~ m{^$link_tags_search}i) { (that's a line changed in patch2) Ciao, Thorsten
