One of my non-PHP related projects is nearing client delivery this week, and like most software projects, It's bound to have bugs. Normally I just deal with this by email's or a gnumeric spreadsheet, but since this project is a bit more complex than others, I decided a bug tracker might be a good idea..
So in the true spirit of "it's not built here", I started hacking on the php.net bug system. Well, less of hacking, more of copy the database schema, and HTML and replace all the PHP code with nice clean object responses, based around FlexyFramework.
The end result is about 90% of the current features of php.net's bug tracker with a few new ones added:
From the package description here's the details:
This is a re-write based loosely around the php.net bugs system. Uses The FlexyFramework logic to make a simple to understand,yet extremely powerfull, and hopefully pretty safe bug system
