I'll follow up with this thread when we make progress.Slight deviation in topic, but have you guys ever thought of making Snort's internal bugzilla (or other such issue tracker) publicly-accessible? I imagine there's some things you guys want to keep to yourself, and most ticketing systems should have a "developer only" bit in them. Might help better manage comments/ideas/bugs/patches from the community if we can file those into a ticket tracker and then get CC'ed when updates happen.Followup to this. We had a bugzilla system. It seems that no one ever used it. It's different from our internal bugzilla system that we actually commit code with and annotate. So I made the decision to kill it. Reason being, most bugs and feature requests are submitted through the bugs[@] email address. I handle all the bugs that come into the system through the community anyway and provide feedback to the reporters when I know more. I think to have a bugzilla system public would be the same thing, another system for me to log into and move the bugs to our internal system, and vice versa. I thought about encouraging the devel team to use the public system, but we can't as things affect product as well, as don't have a public product system as not all of our code is open source. So I think the way the community has been submitting bugs up to this point is working for us just fine, I see no need to make another process for people to deal with, both externally, and internally.
Sounds good. LKML ran for years before adding a public bugzilla to deal with those that like that system. I'd say that, 95% of patches and bugs still come in on that mailing list, though, so it's a system that works. Worth an inquiry.
