Bug tracker for RDE. RDE is already quite big project with a few subprojects and it's hard to track feature requests, reports, milestones, their dependencies and to collocate and organize them properly and share publicly. That's why for last few weeks I was looking at different project management/bug tracking solutions. From what I found so far it seems that Bugzilla is the best option at the moment. Thoughts? 18 comments

@calispera Similiar reasons why not github/gitlab issues, sourcehut todo. They are too simplictic. No saved/pre-defined queries, separate project components, hard to do cross-project milestons. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/describecomponents.cgi

@abcdw Just found a nice overview of the GitLab features https://about.gitlab.com/features/ while searching for the feature live cycle from premium to paid to free.

@abcdw I'm getting pretty close to setting up my own Forgejo instance, it's pretty nice. I'm guessing you've already considered it, maybe you don't need the repo management features it offers?

@daviwil I'm more concerned about it being too simplistic and not covering basic bug organization/grouping and reporting capabilities: For now I think about cgit+bugzilla+ldap+list.sr.ht setup. The setup of even this relatively small set of tools looks like a lot of work :/ In this sense forgejo looks much better. Plus potential future federation is also a nice thing I guess.

@abcdw whoops, sorry, I missed the other reply. Yep, I do think the project management capabilities of Forgejo won't be anywhere near as sophisticated as Bugzilla. I think there's definitely a gap out there for a forge software that's friendly both to hackers and users familiar with the GitHub model without trying to reimplement GitHub.

@abcdw I like my bug trackers integrated with my central repository as in self hosted GitLab but I can also appreciate a de-tangled approach. Have a look at https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issues/ the header every page states if it's available in self-managed & free = available in open source community edition.

@abcdw Bugzilla is a good option, even though I personally prefer redmine (https://www.redmine.org), probably out of mere convenience (can’t imagine Bugzilla not being on par with it); it supports creating issues by email, organising issues in projects, has a “good enough” VCS integration, following issues via RSS and so on.

@thees One of the "downsides" of bugzilla that it can't create issues from anonymous users like redmine https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineReceivingEmails#Enabling-unknown-users-to-create-issues-by-email However, I think it can be work arounded by some REST API glue code.  |

@abcdw
Have you considered Forgejo ?
May I ask why you didn't select it ?
