Hello everyone, especially Garbiel Boie ! On June 25**, I posted a question to the mail list with subject "making a bug viewable in two different "projects"". I've had one answer by Gabriel. Thanks.
I am very sorry I could not come back to the list before (eheh, one month already !!). The solution Gabriel gave to me seems to be adapted, but I would need some clarification on the topic. My problem is that I don't understand well what "creating clone" actually does by reading the doc. What effect on database does "cloning bug" have ? Is it a link, or a copy ? Does "cloning" correspond to a specific functionality ? Or is it the same as "duplicating" ? What is the true difference between "cloning" and "duplicating" a bug ? More generally, I would like to expose again my needs, with more details. I need to distinguish "Products" Mantis projects, for which both users and developpers have access, and "Component" project, for which only developpers have access. "Component projects" correspond closely to the source (svn) projects. Mantis users should be able to browse both "Component projects" and "Products projects" in Mantis (list bugs, search for a bug, etc.). In this way, while analysing a bug reported in a "product", a developper would first analyse in which "Component" the bug originates. Let me explain through an example: Let's say a team develop a library MyLib, and 2 software SoftA and SoftB that use the library, but also have some specific code such as a GUI GUI_A and GUI_B. Users do know SoftA and SoftB, but do not need to know about MyLib. A user reports a bug in SoftA, but the bug in fact is caused by MyLib. As a Mantis administror, how would you manage such a situation ? According to Gabriel suggestion, the developper would create a "clone" of the bug in the appropriate "component" project. Now, we would have two "bugs id" in the database, but, in fact, they relate to the same "observable bug" in the application. Question : If someone modifies something (status, comments...) in the original bug (ie the bug that belongs to a "product" project), will these changes be reflected in the cloned bug (ie the bug that belongs to a "component" project)? If a developer modifies something (status, comments...) in the cloned bug (ie the bug that belongs to a "component" project) , will these changes be reflected in the original (ie the bug that belongs to a "product" project) bug ? I hope I am clear enough ! ;=) Waiting for your answers, Thank you very much for your help.
