Bugzilla and the savannah bug tracker stuff both seem to suffer from the almost fatal flaw that they are almost entirely web-based. Filing a simple bug report or managing bugs with either is a painful process, because you are largely stuck with the slow manual process of filling in a web form. I'd much prefer something based around email, only using the web where it makes sense. Andrew Suffield's `BugGoo' system, which Tom Lord has started using for tla (replacing savannah's bug tracker), looks interesting. Andrew is a Debian developer so I presume it is partially based on experience with Debian's bug-tracking system (which is generally excellent, at least from a user's point of view). http://bugs.gnuarch.org/ -Miles -- [|nurgle|] ddt- demonic? so quake will have an evil kinda setting? one that will make every christian in the world foamm at the mouth?
