Yep, see bug #1047 (partial dupe)

Great. FWIW, BSA has not been functional for extended amounts of time now, so IMHO lets prioritize not linking to it in the first place over linking from it to the new bugzilla. (The useless extra step to the BSA isnt a good thing anyway.)

I beg to differ here. We either divert people temporarily from the BSA because it does not work (and we fix it), or we simply don't use a BSA at all, otherwise why having a BSA in the first place?

What difference does this make for the immediate action needed? We will replace links to the BSA with links directly to bugzilla in both cases.

The question of "Should we have a BSA at all, if its such trouble to keep it running?" is a valid one, esp. in the light of us now being able to streamline our own Bugzilla experience to be less horrible in itself -- but that is independent of what we need now: not linking to the broken BSA. So lets not mix that in here for now.

Okay - the timing was not overly clear at first ; +1 from my side. As for your other comment, it would indeed be interested in studying how to turn our own BZ into a real user friendly platform.

Thanks!

Just quickly, am on the road: Yep, the BugZilla dupe is highest prio atm
- BSA is in the works, Rob or Cloph (need to look up) are working on
getting it done as it now resides on the same machine as BZ
