I have installed it before and it was not hard at all. I did it one afternoon on a Debian system, using MySQL as the database backend. It worked fine. Going into the project, getting the database installed was the scariest part of it, but Debian's package installation is smooth enough that installing MySQL is not a problem at all. >Other bug tracking systems are better alternatives. Jitterbug (what >we currently use) is indeed simplistic, but fits our needs well. I don't know much about other good bug tracking systems. I've encountered a few bad ones, but that doesn't help much. I've also hacked a Bugzilla implementation to change the form for submitting bugs, add fields to bugs, and make other changes. It's just a bunch of Perl CGI scripts. If you aren't concerned with being prepared to accept some future Bugzilla upgrade, there's no special problem with adapting it to your purposes. On the other hand, I'm not hearing interesting-enough specific problems with the present Jitterbug implementation, so I can't advocate switching to Bugzilla even if it's trivial. There would at least be work to migrate the existing bugs to the new system. -- Tim Freeman tim@fungible.com GPG public key fingerprint ECDF 46F8 3B80 BB9E 575D 7180 76DF FE00 34B1 5C78 ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
