Hi! > This is the first I have seen this GNATS to Bugzilla subject discussed. It was discussed on https://wiki.freebsd.org/Bugtracking since approx. 2004. > GNATS has been working just fine for many years, why the change to Bugzilla? See the wiki page for the details. > Who makes this kind of change in a vacuum? It was discussed on the committers list, and some people worked for a long time. > WHO AUTHORIZED THIS???? The first mention to replace gnats with bugzilla apparently was around 2001 (yes, that long ago!) > Why was the ports mailing list not included in this before now? It was mentioned on the ports@ list in the past, but there was no real 'driver' mentioned, but now it happened. The BSDCan 2014 meeting was the final trigger to switch over. So, it took a looooong time and now it happened. It will take a bit to get all the kinks out, but it looks like progress 8-) -- pi@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 6 years to go !
