Re: Bug tracker?

Let me elaborate on this a bit. The SF tracker's feature set was only part of the problem, and often not the main problem. Sure, there were things we'd wished their tracker did differently, but the performance of the SF systems and poor response to RFEs to the system were probably more important than the available feature set. Again, related to release schedules, there were times nearing releases when SF was unavailable. As people were more actively working on identifying and fixing bugs during the time just before a release it was completely unacceptable for the bug tracker to simply go away. It doesn't matter how perfectly its features suit your development style if it's not reliable. This was also the main reason Python stopped hosting its source code on SF. We switched to a self-hosted Subversion repository, again, with a lot of work by Martin v. Loewis on conversion tools (cvs2svn in this case). If you were to ask Martin, I'm fairly certain he will tell you he would rather to have not had to do it. Switching from CVS to Subversion and remaining at SF would have been a lot easier.
