Hi Carole, thanks for showing interest in Scmbug.

Please send all communication to the mailing list.

Yes, there have been requests in the past to implement support in Scmbug
either for the ClearCase SCM system, or the ClearQuest bugtracking
system. Kira had requested ClearQuest support about 1.5 years ago, and
Kamal requested it about 3.5 years ago. Unfortunately such support has
not been implemented yet. I've just gathered previous requests for this
work in our issue-tracker:

http://bugzilla.mkgnu.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1157
http://bugzilla.mkgnu.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1158

This support has not been implemented probably for two reasons:
- The active developers of Scmbug have not shown interest in using
ClearCase or ClearQuest -- they probably use free equivalents like
Subversion and Bugzilla. Also, these systems are not free, and one needs
a copy of them in order to develop and test.

- The people that use these systems and requested support for them from
Scmbug have not shown interest in implementing it.

Since your developers are interested in using a less expensive bug
tracker than ClearQuest, and they like Bugzilla, using Scmbug with
Bugzilla could be a viable solution. The missing part in this equation
would be the ClearCase glueing support in Scmbug. This needs to be
implemented in order to take advantage of Scmbug.

I would be happy to help anyone, perhaps one of your developers, willing
to implement this support. However, at present, I am not in capacity to
implement this support myself.
