BTS currently has two deficiencies compared to Bugzilla when it comes to handling patches: - No defined way to store patches (and fetching them automically) Some people add them as attachments, some people inline them in a mail, some send an archive etc. And some PHP people send full modified sources :-) - Bugzilla has the neat feature to mark a patch as obsoleting a previously posted bug, which is often very helpful in complicated bug with several rounds of review and fixups Cheers, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
