BTW, any chance CentOS will switch to Bugzilla? ;-)
The current system is... well... different... Probably
the reason I usually fire off mail to mailing list, instead
of going to bugs.centos.org. I personally find Bugzilla
easier to use, and that is what almost everything else uses
to track bugs (except few odd projets, like CentOS).
heh -- actually new 'bugzilla' installs seem rarer than new
'trac' installs.
Back early on in centos's life, when a sub-project of cAos, we
had a bugzilla; a comple of security fixes in bugzilla were
mandated by events, and a switch away occurred. Content was
migrated, and some of the 'groups' rights confidential
(security related) material 'leaked' briefly during the
cutover.
'mantis' is the base for the current tracker, and has been
reliable for centos since its uptake. I find it requires a
mindshift to use properly, compared to my bugzilla habits, but
that some of its default and configurable views are quicker
for triaging and working bugs after some practice.
In packaging and tracking bugzilla, I find that there are some
changes post its version 2.20.1 which impair the Preferences
and User Preferences functions, and which are not yet fixed
upstream. A return to bugzilla seems unlikely absent a
more compelling reason the unfamiliarity of interface.
