[p4] Bugzilla and Perforce

[Weintraub, David]

I looked at Bugzilla a couple of years ago for another organization, and
we decided to use something called Mantis Bug Tracking instead
<http://www.mantisbt.org/>.

We found Mantis much more flexible, easier to setup, and since it is
written in PHP instead of Perl/CGI, easier to maintain. It was fairly
simple to get Mantis integrated with TortoiseSVN and Subversion.

You might want to take a look at Mantis and see what you think. Mantis
is also an OpenSource project. Integration with Perforce could be done
via the MySQL database.

Hi All-

 

We're considering integrating Bugzilla with Perforce. Have any of you
done so? 

 

I have two specific questions but welcome general comments as well.

 

1- Do you have to have Bugzilla set up and running on its own server or
can you use Peforce's database (as opposed to the required MySQL that
Bugzilla requires)?

 

2- What sort of problems came up that you absolutely did not anticipate?

 

Thank you for your time.
