A mailing list IS a bug reporting system. When something receives as low a volume of bug reports as bash, the mailing list archives are sufficient for tracking the status of reported bugs. It's not worth the hassle of integrating into a larger system if said system won't be used often enough to provide more gains than the cost of learning it. In particular, I will refuse to use any system that requires a web browser in order to submit or modify status of a bug (ie. any GOOD bug tracker system needs to still interact with an email front-end). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
