[gentoo-dev] drobbins puts the kibosh on bugtracker talk

[Daniel Robbins]

Hi,

Everyone, let's please make an effort to not discuss the bugtracker topic into
the ground.  I would particularly like to ask that this issue *be avoided by
non-developers*.  If you don't have a CVS account and are not making meaningful
contributions to Gentoo Linux, start doing that first.  Then you'll be able to
contribute to the bug tracker discussion in a meaningful way.

Best Regards,

Just so noone thinks this project is dying, I am going to be setting up
some test bug tracking sites in the next couple of days for developers to
poke at.

[gentoo-dev] bug/issue tracker requirements

[Grant Goodyear]

I'm absolutely the wrong person to put this topic together, but
I'll give it a stab anyway.

User requirements:
  1. Simple to add a bug, an ebuild or a patch, or a feature request.
  2. Current bugs/whatever easily displayed, preferably by priority
  3. Search system for bugs/whatever
  4. Responses, whether by developers or other users, nicely threaded.

My own opinion is that being able to easily scan the current bugs/to-dos
is very important, which is why I put (2) above (3).  I'm reasonably 
agnostic over whether the submission interface should be via web,
e-mail, or both.  I like the way that roundup keeps a list of everybody
who has commented on a particular bug/to-do and sends an e-mail to 
everybody on that list whenever a bug/to-do is updated.  I assume the
other bug trackers do something similar.

Dev requirements:
  1. All of the above user requirements.  Hey, we'll use it most!
  2. Ability to own a bug/to-do, set the priority, label it complete, etc.
  3. Probably lots of other things that I can't think of right now.

Now if somebody who actually uses one of these things would take up this
thread. . ..
