bugs that span releases

[John P. Fisher]

I am just lurking, and no great expert, but we had pretty much the same 
problem with Bugzilla. It is essential to track which releases have 
bugfixes and enhancements. For us, I just created a new table that contains 
the bug_id and the version-fixed in. The listboxes for version-fixed-in are 
populated with the same list as version, but I have some (controversial) 
code that prevents the found-in and fixed-in fields from using the same 
version. So we can now have a query which says product X version 123 fixed 
in, and get the list that were fixed ( or enhanced) between the previous 
version and the one listed.  This seems to work pretty well, though the 
implementation is crude.

Do later versions of Bugzilla ( later than 2.13x ) support tracking bugs 
that appear in multiple products|components|versions ? We still have that 
problem with Bugzilla.

Hope this helps a little
