The SourceForge bug tracker sucks fairly badly; I don't particularly
recommend that OpenACS use it.
It would also be really annoying (and rather embarassing to the
project) to see all the old bug data in the current bug tracker simple
abandoned. Nearly as bad would be to keep the "old" openacs.org site
running solely in order to access the old bug tracker. OpenACS
already did both those things once when converting openacs.org from
OpenACS 3.x to 4.x - just plain ugly.
I would like to hear Lars' opinion of Bug Tracker, as well as anyone
else who is familiar with the Bug Tracker internals. Is Bug Tracker
basically fine and just needs some query tuning? Does it suffer from
serious internal design problems? Is it too complicated? Or what?
Since Malte already figured out how to upgrade the openacs.org Bug
Tracker, tuning the queries seems fairly likely to be both the least
effort and best result path. Major rewrites of Bug Tracker are
probably premature until someone at least tries seriously to figure
out why those queries suddenly suck so badly, despite being ok on the
old (current) openacs.org site.
