Linux Kernel Bugzilla Launched

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the bug-zapper-kernel-trapper dept.

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."

    hey, slashdot is no better than anyplace else... they are trying to sell ads by driving generating traffic.

    I dont know about you people, but I dont harbour any fantasy about Slashdot being my living room, full of 500,000 of my closest friends... dont slip into that fantasy.

    Here's a question: how much $ did ?which? editors make on the VA Sale? Do you think their priorities/opinions are the same? Do you *really* think the goals of slashdot are the same since VA bought them...?

    Slashdot as an entitiy (such as it is) is amoral.

    Further, if you search for "Linux bugs" on Usenet, you get 571,000 hits. If you search for "Windows bugs" you get 389,000 hits. Of course, this can only mean one thing: *BSD is dying...
