Hi, I would like the send out the mail below to centos-devel (probably, seems the best place). The idea is that when we need to monitor a upstream bug we could just enter the upstream bugzilla number into mantis and that from then on any updates made in the bugzilla report would also be added to our bugreport. That makes it much easier to track upstream bugreports. I've googled around and I could not find anything that already does such a thing. Here is the mail : Hello, We have a project for which we are could use some help. Its about creating a link between our Mantis bugtracker (bugs.centos.org) and upstreams Bugzilla (bugzilla.redhat.com). At the moment we need to manually track all upstreams bugs reported in our own bugtracker. This is a time-consuming process and it something that can be automated. So why not do it. My idea was to create a daemon of some sort that at regular intervals checks all bugs in our systems that have a upstream bugzilla number entered (Mantis support customs fields that could be used for this). If there is a update in the bugzilla since the last run it is copied into the bug in Mantis. That why we can get notified automatically and can react to the updates more quickly and spend less time needing to follow up. Well, this is just my idea on how to implement it. If there are others suggestions, please let me know. Also, I've googled to find if something like this already existed but I could not find anything. So, who has some scripting experience (the language doesn't matter) that wants to have a go at this ?
