For reference, we handled the blocker stuff entirely through Bugzilla for a while. We wrote blockerbugs for a few reasons. Ones I remember: 1. Since just looking at all bugs that block the 'blocker' tracker gives you both proposed and accepted blockers, you had to use a saved search or something to find just proposed blockers or just accepted blockers; blockerbugs handily groups them for you 2. None of Bugzilla's queries or anything gives you a handy view of what updates fix what blockers, while blockerbugs does 3. Bugzilla queries are (still) slow as hell (though not quite as bad as when we wrote blockerbugs). blockerbugs is fast (it has to run slow Bugzilla queries to sync its data, but it just syncs every half hour, so the user experience is fast) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
