Whatever did happen to modernizing the gnats database. I know some ideas of Keystone and Bugzilla were thrown around.. Where did that get canned? I myself think that Mozilla's Bugzilla organization (not necessarily the software) works great. A lot of cateogories with a default assignee, actual followups being made, scheduled release milestones, etc. Theres a few guys reviewing how important stuff is, and all around, a lot of responsibility. I need not mention the evil PDT crew :) If it means anything, a lot of people are moving to this system.. @home, RedHat, LokiGames, etc.. so there is at least some support. I myself have pretty extensive experience with Keystone, and a bit with Bugzilla. While I feel Bugzilla is more tuned for this then Keystone, I'd like to see *SOMETHING* done. I myself would happily volunteer to help get something setup in this regard... just tell me who or what to strangle. GNATS is fine and all, I just think something else is needed with the kind of scale we're looking at now. I'll even hack at the command-line tools if need be. I just think this should be more important to us then we give it credit. If this should go in another list, feel free to prod me. -- thomas r. stromberg : tstromberg@rtci.com senior systems administrator, rtci : http://www.afterthought.org/ \( freebsd - turning doorstops into production webservers )/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
