This is an old revision of the document!

The plan for moving to a new bug tracking system

Current Activities

1. Waiting for current generation hardware/jail for bugmeister - done 2. Work on taxonomy - moslty done 3. Redo import for production environment - done 4. Add auto-assigner (code done, need to add to environment) 5. Find some free time (not even close to done).

Later Activities

???

WIP Test Installations

These were running on ancient hardware - and are no longer active.

Tasks to get done *prior* to the switch

1. Import bugs (gonzo) 2. dfilter 3. auto-assigner (eadler)

Other tasks can be left to after the switch

Current Blockers

  • gonzo fixing up bugs for import
  • eadler finishing autoassigner

Concerns

  • Roundup appears to lack CSRF protection, though it is being actively being worked on.
  • Bugzilla needs to be checked for CSRF concerns

Bugzilla & svn integration links

Nice bugzilla extensions

Bots

Places with gnats documentation or links
