Trawling through my xorg bugs yesterday I found a few that were filed against the Input/wacom component at bugs.freedesktop.org. This was created ages ago, when Ping and I were talking about moving the driver over to freedesktop.org in general. We decided to stay with sf.net in the end to avoid too big a break for our users (this discussion happened ~2 years ago or so)
However, given sf's issue tracker moving to the freedesktop.org bugzilla seems quite tempting. I personally find the issue tracker horrible. There are a few advantages in using bugs.freedesktop.org: - bugzilla is somewhat of a standard when it comes to bugreporting - cross-referencing/reassigning bugs is easier between other components such as the X server - tighter integration with xorg in general. X.org hackers tend to look at the bugzilla, they don't look at our sf page. - better references: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/12345 vs http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3456195&group_id=69596&atid=525124 Disadvantages: - this should only be done for the xf86-input-wacom component (and xsetwacom bugs), kernel bugs should not go there (or at least would require a different component). - users would need to create a user account separate from sf.net - technically off-site (I doubt that matters) And other things I missed. What's the general feeling on it? If we're not switching, I'll probably poke the fdo admins to remove the bugzilla component so we don't get bugreports that no-one looks at.
