Bug Tracker - Looks nice; sodding useless

The Bug Genie BugTracker you’re using looks nice and has some interesting features - the hardware tracker. But its way too hard to get an account, the bug reporting tool doesn’t work (doesn’t offer me any “products”), and theres broken links all over it.

Bugzilla is ugly and clunky. But it works, and works fairly well. Any chance of going over to that instead?

Along those lines, has anyone ever used “Scarab”? http://scarab.tigris.org/

I have messed around with a little bit (and it’s not too bad to setup), but have never really used it in production.

It looks nice, but I really couldn’t comment on how it compares to Bugzilla.

There’s a bug tracker? :shock:

Yes and no. Yes theres a bug tracker. No, it doesn’t work right.

Yes … the general consensus is none of the Admins like the current bug tracker … Kurtis is presently testing out a few others at the moment.

More soon …

Hrm. Should I trust a person who looks like he’s dressed for a bank raid when they say “More soon” :lol: :lol:

Has any BeOS user seen more of your face than just your eyes through a paintball mask?

I have experience in customising Bugzilla, probably to an extend where it looks as nice as the current bugtracker :wink: With that in hand, you probably have the best, most advanced bugtracker, with a slick gui.

Give me a call if you are interested.l

i actually have bugzilla set up on the webserver in another directory… but i haven’t had the chance to mess with it much… one of the requests of the devs was less login information, ie: combine the forum logins with the admin logins with the bugtracker logins… unfortunately, since I’m in my last 2 semesters, I have like zero time lately

if anyone is interested in this stuff, let me know… i don’t really have an opinion myself as to which bugtracker to use, but the idea originally was to get away from the complexity and scariness of bugzilla because we want normal people to be able to submit a bug and not be scared off. Unfortunately, bugs doesn’t seem to work very well and I don’t know much about any other ones.

Hmm, I just wondered if the Horde Project has an issue tracker subproject, and apparently they do.
http://www.horde.org/whups/

And it seems quite easy to use (From an end-user perspective)
Horde’s bugtracker: http://bugs.horde.org/

Of course, you have to have the Horde Application Framework on the system to use it.

How about a poll to see which bugtracker people like the best?
