title: 'Bugs: You Got ''Em, I Fix ''Em'
---

<p>
I've tried to keep track of bug reports and feature requests via email, and it's just not working.  So I gave up and set up a <a href='http://bugs.pablotron.org/'>bug tracking page</a> at <a href='http://bugs.pablotron.org/'>http://bugs.pablotron.org/</a>.  <a href='http://halffull.org/'>Thomas (redshift)</a> and I went through a handful of them, including <a href='http://bugzilla.org/'>Bugzilla</a> (too much of a hassle to configure, pain in the ass to use), <a href='http://flyspray.rocks.cc/'>Flyspray</a> (klunky user interface), <a href='http://www.mantisbt.org/'>Mantis</a> (no easy anonymous view), <a href='http://cvstrac.org/'>CVSTrac</a> (only one project per repository? gee, that's useful), and finally settled on <a href='http://phpbt.sf.net/'>PHPBugTracker</a>, which does what I need and annoys me less than the rest.  I also read <a href='http://geekswithblogs.net/flanakin/articles/CompareWebTrackers.aspx'>this semi-dated article on bug trackers</a>; I didn't pay much attention to the rank he gave each tracker, but it is a nice list of bug trackers out there.
