Hi Nilo, I understand now what you are trying to do.

Can you describe in more detail how you "relate" files with a specific
bug ? How do you do it in Bugzilla 3.2 ? Will you use custom fields that
Bugzilla lets you create ?

Please keep in mind that an implementation of these policies will need
to be general enough to be applied in other issue-tracking systems, too.
If for example, you are relying on custom fields (I don't know if you
are -- let us know what you have in mind), and lets say Mantis does not
support that, then the policy won't be generally applicable. This is OK
since this policy is not as necessary for integration as e.g. inserting
the list of affected files in the issue-tracker. If for example Mantis
provides custom fields some day, then it can be supported. But the point
is that what you will need to do to enable the functionality to "relate"
files (e.g. add stuff in the Bugzilla database) needs to be implemented
generally so that it could be extended to add support other
issue-trackers (configure their database, too).

I would rather you didn't modify the database of an issue-tracker, but
instead used a feature the issue-tracker has to allow you to "relate"
files.

I understand the policy you have in mind. It sounds useful.

This sounds useful too.
