I had a look at your local JIRA, and while I'm sure that there were features which were turned off as I was not an admin, I don't think that anything that I saw put it ahead of Bugzilla, especially when balanced against the limitations of the license for JIRA (we have to ask their permission before adding any new projects). > Michael Dunstan just suggested "Trac" and "Poi" as being worth looking > at too. > I don't think Poi has the same level of features as Bugzilla (e.g. CC lists, etc...). Trac is also missing a lot of features, although it does have an integrated wiki and Subversion integration (however, we already have a wiki, and I don't think integrating it with the bugtracker would really help us much). Closing issues in commit messages might be convenient, although there are ways to get it working in Bugzilla too, see for example http://sean-janus.optionpc.com/me/software/bugtraq/ Best regards, Andrew _______________________________________________ cellml-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://www.cellml.org/mailman/listinfo/cellml-discussion
