It seems you agree. The XML/RPC interface, or some way to update the database other than manually using the web interface, is a sensible prerequisite for implementing the mapping. The mapping is a solution to what we think is an ongoing problem with visibility and triage (and therefore quality) in the current instance. Doing something else with the bugzilla instance isn't necessarily coupled to that, though if the move to 3.2 is going to be both disruptive and soon, waiting might make sense. --Mark _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list tools-discuss@opensolaris.org
