Back early on in centos's life, when a sub-project of cAos, we had a bugzilla; a comple of security fixes in bugzilla were mandated by events, and a switch away occurred. Content was migrated, and some of the 'groups' rights confidential (security related) material 'leaked' briefly during the cutover. 'mantis' is the base for the current tracker, and has been reliable for centos since its uptake. I find it requires a mindshift to use properly, compared to my bugzilla habits, but that some of its default and configurable views are quicker for triaging and working bugs after some practice. In packaging and tracking bugzilla, I find that there are some changes post its version 2.20.1 which impair the Preferences and User Preferences functions, and which are not yet fixed upstream. A return to bugzilla seems unlikely absent a more compelling reason the unfamiliarity of interface. -- Russ Herrold
