Bug-tracker's working now. Or at least it's back to its normal level of brokenness.

My pet project for the last week has been writing a script to convert its bug database to Trac. It doesn't seem very plausible, unfortunately.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for Baughn, but maybe this Trac script will help: http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/MantisImportScript

[Baughn]

Pretty sure it would, I've no idea how I overlooked that. Thanks! 

[Footkerchief]

Are we planning to switch to Trac?

[Baughn]

I'd like that, but no, not immediately. It's up to Toady.

How do you like Mantis, in general? I hate it.

[Kholint]

I used Trac with a small software company I worked for last year and it was pretty good, when we remembered to use it. I'd recommend it, especially if you're having problems with Mantis (I've not even bothered looking at mantis, because I can't be bothered to make an account. Why should I, if I just want to peruse the bug list? (I'm a runtime error window shopper - I just like looking)).

Sooo.... Is this a bug?

Either that's a bug, or DF just got wierder.

I thought someone got snatched. But nope. So I have no idea who it is for.

Looks like you may have a snatcher on the map somewhere who got dirty somehow. Throw some squads around, see if you can find him.

[Hippoman]

snatcher showed up just after that.
He died soon after.

I'd like that, but no, not immediately. It's up to Toady.

I like it.  It has its oddities (the persistent filter) and a few bugs (overwriting several relationships at once causes an error message), but it's powerful and has nice functionality for editing multiple tickets at once, etc.  I've never used Trac so I can't compare.

It's a known bug, yes.  It seems like Toady didn't make the new jobs play nice with the job system.

[Hippoman]

Thats exactly what happened!

Mantis is ugly and odd.

Trac is pretty but slow. And it's wiki/code browser isn't required.

Flyspray's got some nice functionnality and is a very mature software.

Also, could you consider using redmine? That one being better than trac.

[Daenyth]

I'm pretty neutral with mantis, dislike trac, and I've used and liked redmine and flyspray.

If your are going to spend time working at switching or improving the bug tracker.  The first thing I would like is to just have 1 login for all things Bay2.  Make the bug tracker use the existing forum account database.  It would be nice to have it use the same cookie too, but that is generally harder.
