Eek, sounds bad alright.
What I had in mind was more the ability to refer to external bugs.
E.g.:
- When creating a bug, to be able to use information from an external
bug as a template for the Solaris bug (e.g. if nothing else, the
subject).
- The ability to link easily to the external bug, ie rather than
having to say "See http://bugzilla.....";, to have a box to enter
the bugid into so that viewers then could be given an easy path to
the external bug (inline viewing of the information or via browser)
- Ability to have certain key fields of the external bug show up in
our bug DB. Bug resolution state particularly.
I.e. If I have a bug in our system which is tracking some external
bug, and the external bug changes to closed/fixed - I'd like to
that to show up.
There's probably more, but the above would be nice :)
