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."

and don't tell slashdot just yet ;-)"

Another server bites the dust.

First Bug!

Linux's implementation of TCP/IP successfully connects to goatse.cx:80

Expected result : connection attempt should be rejected.

This 'bug' can't be confirmed on any version of 2.5.
Possible problem: submitter is a troll and/or moron.

suggested course of action: delete (bug report and troll account).

almost ready to ship....

[illsorted]

I think the 2.5 kernel is about ready for launch.

Just need to clear up this last bug.

Re:A public database of errors?

[JordoCrouse]

So now all MS has to do to compile page of Reasons To Switch is do a quick query against Bugzilla.Linux

Hey, right now all MS has to do to compile a page of reasons to switch is type "linux bugs" into Google:

Searched the web for linux bugs. Results 1 - 10 of about 1,450,000.

(Yeah, I know this is a troll - but hey, I'm bored).

What about bugzilla for bugzilla?

[Mustang Matt]

Geez guys! Run it through the w3c validator!

We're suppossed to be promoting the standards right?

Besides, if Microsoft did administer a public bug database, they would have to run it on some form of *NIX. Windows doesn't support enough processors!
