Hi all,
Now that I've actually *used* the Trac Ticket system, I feel I can
now provide comment as to its functionality. I never did provide
comments about functionality before, as I had not used it, I only
offered opinion on the reasons for changing and the method used to
implement Trac.
I don't expect the following notes to be anything other than
conversation items. I am not asking to go go back to Bugzilla, nor
do I think we should. These items are mentioned in hopes that
there can be fixes or enhancements to Trac.
1. Time-wise I feel that Trac and Bugzilla are about the same. I
don't see any real appreciable difference (or speed-up which was
claimed) using either one. There are still tremendous (sometimes 20
to 30 second) delays trying to move from one screen to another. I
am disappointed here.
2. Bugzilla, functionality-wise seems to be better.
a) I liked the field in BZ that was available for a relevant URL.
Yeah, I miss that too.
b) The color-coding doesn't do anything for me. I can't see much
difference in Trac or Bugzilla in this respect.
c) I would prefer the default to be a "task" rather than a
"defect" when entering a new bug in Trac. Most bugs (in BLFS,
anyway) are version increments, which should not be classified
as defects.
This can be customized. Someone who has "admin" privileges on BLFS Trac
can change the default bug type.
d) I don't like how all the bugs moved from BZ to Trac that are
for version increments are marked "defect"
That probably just goes along with the "default bug type" mentioned above.
e) I don't like (and this is the reason I created this message, as
I feel this is a large shortcoming) that you cannot reference
bug numbers when marking duplicates, and you cannot reference
bug number dependencies (I realize it could be done manually,
however, I liked the automated system in BZ.
I was just about to mention that myself, when I saw ticket #1704 - I
wondered where the link to #1703 was...
