Linux Kernel Bugzilla Launched

paskie writes "Martin J. Bligh of IBM announced launch of a Bugzilla bug tracking database for 2.5 linux kernel series - it's at bugme.osdl.org. Finally there will be some possibility to easily keep track of known bugs without being subscribed to thousand of mailing lists or googling to death. According to the relevant lkml thread, kernel developers will still prefer discussions to happen on the mailing lists, though. The Bugzilla server and connection is donated by OSDL and IBM folks administer the database."

  1. how many bugs will be there when 2.6 is released? by mentin · · Score: 2, Flamebait
    Remember when Microsoft shipped W2K there was a story about 60k-something bugs that were not fixed before the release?

    Now I wonder how many unclosed bugs will be in Linux database when 2.6 is released? Will this be Microsoft's turn to laugh?
