(Though as an aside, > I'd like to mention that it'd still be a bad idea to do so. :P) I think my reply from a non-dev email address got eaten, so I'll reply again: 1) Jira can produce automated backups/exports of the database in XML format, which means we can always write a tool to convert the data to a format acceptable to any other bug mngmt software anytime we want. 2) It imports from bugzilla 3) Free license and apparently even some free support and infrastructure management for open-source projects. Apparently, they donated one of the bug db's that the apache software foundation is using, for instance. See: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/pricing.jsp#nonprofit http://opensource.atlassian.com/ 4) There is some nice functionality to integrate with cvs, subversion, etc if we ever find a use for that. However, I was just throwing out the jira stuff as an idea and my 2 cents given the concerns about bugzilla. The current db running on myisam table format is rather scary, given gentoo's size.
