Re: Bug tracker?

Mats Lidell writes: We've had two full-blown trackers, first gnats and then jitterbug. Both were simply black holes for problem reports. Roundup is the only one I'm interested in working with, either in terms of maintaining it or in terms of using it to focus a release, if people really want me to do the next release. It's very easy to customize, and I really hate the default organization in all trackers I've ever used. It also would be easy to prime the database with past reports, and inject them in batches. Bugzilla -- fails both the email and XEmacs client tests. We were offered an email-capable Bugzilla with the code being supported by SuSE, but my understanding is that Novell has deep-sixed that code. gnats -- too 16th century. jitterbug -- maybe it's ok now, but it was a jinx at the time. Trac -- nobody who has used the MacPorts Trac would be willing to use Trac. That includes me. RT -- looks OK in principle, but I will not maintain a big ball of Perl; we'll need a reliable volunteer for that. I also seem to recall it doesn't do email very well. We need one, no more and no less, really. Having others to help is fine, but there needs to be one somebody who does the work at a least a couple times a week and stays on top of the thing. The Python tracker reports are nice, and something similar probably would do the trick. It looks mostly automated. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
