What projects are those? For ones of similar size at the very
least all issues get tagged. There are a bunch of issues that
have nothing done with them.
Anyways for the site itself, it seems to be lacking features.
It is a standard Bugzilla instance. We do not develop the
software.
That doesn't make the point any less valid. If something is broke
you fix it or replace it.
When viewing issues as a list there isn't that much
information about the issue, other than the summary.
You can create custom views for whatever task you have at hand.
Didn't know that, the setting was buried at the bottom of the
page past the hundreds of errors.
The "Resolution", only ever seen it as "---", maybe it means
something for closed issues but I haven't seen any closed
issues.
If something is unclear, please refer to the Bugzilla manual.
Not unclear so much as the feature is there and is never used.
If it is a bit bigger of an enhancement and needs a DIP to add
the functionality.
Feature requests that require a DIP do not belong on Buzilla.
Who is to determine that? I see a lot of Buzilla reports that are
large enhancements that should need a DIP. But they stay as open
issues flagged enchancement. That's the point. There's no, or at
least no one does say, this needs a DIP, closes the issue to
remove it from sight.
TLDR; The issue system in place right now needs to be removed
and a better system with oversight put in place.
Err, no. Just because you haven't seen a Bugzilla instance
elsewhere doesn't mean we should replace it. The UI is a bit
90's, but otherwise it has served us well.
Umm, who said I haven't seen it elsewhere? If a system is
un-maintainable that doesn't mean it's ok and should just be
overlooked.
