Re: Bug trackers

I'm one of the current upstream developers for debbugs; Manoj pointed
me at this discussion in IRC earlier (CC if you want me to respond, or
obey M-F-T. ;-)).[0]

It wouldn't be too terribly difficult to set up an instance of debbugs
to allow testing to see if it will work for emacs development. I also
wouldn't mind making changes as required to make it fit in better with
the emacs development model[1] (as debbugs is rather Debian specific
now.)

The codebase is here in a bzr repository:
http://bugs.debian.org/debbugs-source/, the mainline branch is our
"distributable" branch, and the "debian" branch is the code that is
actually running on bugs.debian.org. If someone who wants to set it up
needs a hand configuring it, let me or debian-devel@lists.debian.org
know.[2]

Also, feel free to ask if you have questions about specific features
of Debbugs.

0: Hopefully I haven't hideously broken this thread; unfortunatly, the
lack of mboxes on the web archive makes that "interesting".

1: I don't really know how you all develop emacs, so I would need
significant input on what changes were needed.

2: I don't currently have a demo of it set up, though I have had one
running in the past.
