Then, for heaven's sake, why has the Geeqie project used the sf.net bug tracker for several years? It can be disabled via the project admin interface. No tracker => no tickets that end up in nirvana. And if all those bug trackers suck in your opinion, is there one, which you like? Some people like "trac", e.g. the fedorahosted.org project service uses it. The primary problem with Geeqie's own bug tracker at sf.net is that nobody seems to pay attention to the tickets anymore. Whether bug reports should be sent to this list instead, nobody knows. About the distribution's own bug trackers, you don't need to know them, less use them. Red Hat's bugzilla server is also the one used by the Fedora Project. Typically, it is the Fedora package maintainer who maintains tickets in that tracker and either forwards bug reports upstream or asks the reporter to open a ticket in the upstream tracker. Same for Debian. Bugs filed in a distribution's bug tracker may be specific to the distribution. For example, here's an exiv2 lib upgrade that somehow breaks Geeqie and other graphics viewers in Fedora 23: geeqie shows in the EXIF embedded image instead of the contents of a RAW file. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1292255 It could be a bug in exiv2 or an API change. Whatever. If the distribution package user reported that at Geeqie's sf.net bug tracker directly, the downstream package would remain broken, unless a new Geeqie release would fix it (or if the downstream packager would notice a fix in upstream git). But if it's a bug in exiv2, activity would need to shift to that package and/or upstream project. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
