Bugzilla is one example of a class of programs called "Defect Tracking
Systems", or, more commonly, "Bug-Tracking Systems". Defect Tracking
Systems allow individual or groups of developers to keep track of
outstanding bugs in their product effectively.
Bugzilla has matured immensely, and now boasts many advanced features.
These include:
- integrated, product-based granular security schema
- inter-bug dependencies and dependency graphing
- advanced reporting capabilities
- a robust, stable RDBMS back-end
- extensive configurability
- a very well-understood and well-thought-out natural bug resolution protocol
- email, XML, console, and HTTP APIs
- available integration with automated software configuration management
systems, including Perforce and CVS (through the Bugzilla email interface
and checkin/checkout scripts)
- too many more features to list

This is a first try at a Bugzilla package but there are a few things to
|
|
|
|
|
be aware of:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- It's not complete yet as it provides the user with no instruction on how
|
|
|
|
|
to setup the mySQL side of Bugzilla.
|
|
|
|
|
- I'm not a Bugzilla person so I'm not sure if the application defaults
|
|
|
|
|
are appropriate or should be changed.
|
|
|
|
|
- You need to install the p5-Chart pkg which is in pkgsrc-wip as well.
|
|
|
|
|
However, I have not tested that it actually works with Bugzilla.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'll doubt I will get much more time to work on this so I'm importing it
|
|
|
|
|
in the hope that someone can finish off the package from here. If anyone
|
|
|
|
|
feels they want to give it a go and can test it adequately please feel free
|
|
|
|
|
to hack away at it.
