Ok, but I don't regard those two arguments (Bryan has time for it and others are asking for it) as a convincing argument for having MariaDB use this as a bugtracker. As I mentioned above, the bugtracking system at Launchpad works pretty well, integrated very well with the bzr branches, and so on. Considering MariaDB does interact with other projects for part of its codebase and other purposes, why not use something that already works rather than putting in extra?
Look Monty, I like Eventum, Open Query uses it for some things also, but that's really not the issue here.
If Launchpad bug tracking has some issues, we can identify them, report them, and see if they can be addressed. We know the people who build it and we know they're active and open to suggestions. Just seems like a better way to use time and other resources, with a more satisfactory result for not just MariaDB but also others.
Wheel-reinventing is terribly distracting and wasteful. Cheers, Arjen. -- Arjen Lentz, Director @ Open Query (http://openquery.com)Affordable Training and ProActive Support for MySQL & related technologies
