GNOME's dup finder: http://git.gnome.org/browse/bugzilla-newer/tree/dupfinder The README is probably outdated, as per: http://live.gnome.org/BugzillaUpgrade/UpgradeStatus#Simple-dup-finder KDE and a number of other bugzillas seem to have similar infrastructure. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work due to abrt's use of attachments instead of full backtraces. Also sorely missing from the RH bugzilla is an equivalent to the "browse" functionality in the GNOME BZ: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi And the fact that NEEDINFO is a real status, not a flag, which makes it easier to filter. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
