I noticed that buglist.cgi was taking quite a bit of CPU time. I looked
at some of the long running instances, and they were coming from
searchbots. I can't think of a good reason for this, so I have
committed this patch to the gcc.gnu.org robots.txt file to not let
searchbots search through lists of bugs. I plan to make a similar
change on the sourceware.org and cygwin.com sides. Please let me know
if this seems like a mistake.
Does anybody have any experience with
http://code.google.com/p/bugzilla-sitemap/ ? That might be a slightly
better approach.
Ian

Shouldn't we keep searchbots way from bugzilla completely? Searchbots
can crawl the gcc-bugs mailinglist archives.

I don't see anything wrong with crawling bugzilla, though, and the
resulting links should be better.

Indeed. I think the individual bugs, and the GCC-specific help texts
(such as describekeywords.cgi and describecomponents.cgi), should be
indexed.
