Using bugzilla now and disliking it the more I do so. Whinges:
- Generic reporting gives lowest common-denominator reports. Older versions (than 2.18.3) appear to have better reporting features.
-
Nasty security system means that there is no anonymous access to reports. Why not? Had to hack report.cgi as follows:
# pcw Bugzilla->login(LOGIN_REQUIRED); Bugzilla->login();
- Links to other pages at bottom of page, not side or top where they are useful. Ok I can hack templates to fix this but it's hastle.
- It would be nice to have whinge email running but the instructions are too cryptic for me to risk spamming everyone.
Out of desperation I tried version 2.20.0 but the differences in that didn't seem to be worth migrating for.

I don't like moaning about open source software, it should be a take-it-or-leave-it thing. However, the bugzilla documentation is a bit microsofty: a mix between stating the obvious and deep voodoo from someone who knows it backwards and assumes you are already familiar with every other aspect of the system.
