This message is important for all that used to report bugs on our SourceForge tracker, or are planning to report bugs in the future.
With the move of our CVS repository to a new Mercurial repository, we have also migrated the bugtracker from SourceForge to a Bugzilla instance.
The old SourceForge trackers are no longer in use. Please DO NOT file any bugs there, as they will get lost. We have removed their presence as far as possible to avoid any confusion here.
The new location to search, read and file new bugs is here:
This URL will now be redirected to the new location:
(Please bear with us while we try to get the interface/skin well suited for our project.)
All bugs that were previously on the SourceForge trackers have been migrated to the new Bugzilla instance. The bug numbers could not be retained, hence all have been renumbered. See [1] for dealing with this in Bugzilla.
All users that have ever reported a bug, commented on a bug, or been an assignee for a bug on SourceForge have been imported in Bugzilla. This means that for all those users a <sf-nickname>@users.sourceforge.net account has been created. Exception to this are users who work at CWI, whose addresses have been mapped to their CWI address.
If you want to use your migrated account, simply click the "Forgot Password" link on the Bugzilla main page. It will send an email to your (SourceForge) email address with a token to allow you to set a password.
For this to work, make sure your sourceforge email address works. I have already seen a bounce message from sourceforge for a user whose address didn't work.
If you are a new user, you can simply sign up on our Bugzilla using the "Open a New Account" button.
In both cases, make sure you look through the preferences, in particular the "Email Preferences". For migrated accounts these preferences are set to exclude sending any bug email, which may or may not be what you prefer.
Feel free to ask for any help if problems arise.
[1] Searching an old bug using its bugnumber: If you have an old SourceForge bug number and need to find tha associated bug in Bugzilla, open up an advanced search, and enter the old bug number in the URL field. Make sure that you select the appropriate bug resolutions (e.g. include RESOLVED) and search. Each migrated bug has an URL set to the original bug on SourceForge, hence is easily found this way.
An even easier way to search for bugs is now also possible:
http://bugs.monetdb.org/<bugnumber>
where <bugnumber> can either be the old Sourceforge bug number or the new MonetDB/Bugzilla bugnumber.
