- shagie 9y agoI (hazily) recall at sgi there was a news-bug tracker gateway. New post? New bug. Reply to post? Add a comment. This was also how sgi exported its bugs to partners. sgi.bugs.legato was a feed that legato picked up and could then use with standard software (Netscape had a built in news reader) to be able to interact with the bug tracking system.
