Bugzilla replaced GNATS in June 2014 as the bug + management tool of choice for &os;, granting GNATS its + well-deserved retirement after more than 20 years of operation. + The following months were rough for Bugzilla: a lot of + functionality was still missing and several uncertainties caused + users and committers to adapt only slowly to the new system.

+ +

Over the last six months, a lot of missing features were + brought into place to allow users and committers to focus on + getting bugs solved. Categories, the status model and many + workflow-related knobs were continously reworked and improved to + provide the necessary information without getting in the + way.

+ +

An auto-assigner for ports issues was implemented, + resembling what GNATS' successfully did in the past. A dashboard + page within Bugzilla provides users and committers with common + queries and overall statistics; many other smaller tweaks, + configurations, and extensions were implemented to improve the + usability of the system.

+ +

An improved reporting system is currently being + implemented to provide graphs and statistics for users and + committers. Handling MFCs and a better feedback mechanism for + requests (flags in Bugzilla) will be the next things to do.

+ +

Bugmeister is also working closely with the &os; GitHub + team to establish a workflow between GitHub's issue tracker and + our Bugzilla system. The technical solution already exists as a + proof of concept, but its usage in production will have to wait + until Bugzilla 5.0 has been adopted.

+ + + + +

Create a solid charting + extension for &os; Bugzilla.

+ + + +

Improve MFC + handling.

+ + + +

Do you feel that something important is missing? + Let + us know!
