I think this is a good time to start discussing what we can do about
bug tracking for Octave. Up until now, I've been happy to deal with
bugs just by keeping a folder of messages sent to the address@hidden
mailing list. When a bug is fixed or I don't plan to fix it myself,
I delete the message. But then we don't really have a useful public
record of bugs that have been reported bug not fixed.
Do people on the list have any suggestions for good bug tracking
software? I'd like to be able to interact with it via email, but the
archive of bugs should be accessible on the web.
It seems that the Debian bug tracking system might have what we need.
Is it easy to use the Debian bug tracking system outside of the
Debiain project? How easy/hard is it to setup and maintain? Is there
something better?
Here is the list given in the defect tracking survey:
BugZilla
IssueZilla
Scarab
Mantis
JIRA
GNATS
Bug
Trac
RequestTracker
Roundup
Debian Bug Tracking System
Other
When I looked a couple of years ago RequestTracker was the
closest to what I wanted. I haven't looked lately.
