<title>Bugzilla Variants and Competitors</title>
<para>I created this section to answer questions about Bugzilla competitors
and variants, then found a wonderful site which covers an awful lot of what
I wanted to discuss. Rather than quote it in its entirety, I'll simply
refer you here:

<section id="rhbugzilla" xreflabel="Red Hat Bugzilla">
<title>Red Hat Bugzilla</title>
<para>Red Hat Bugzilla is probably the most popular Bugzilla variant on
the planet. One of the major benefits of Red Hat Bugzilla is the ability
to work with Oracle, MySQL, and PostGreSQL databases serving as the
back-end, instead of just MySQL. Dave Lawrence has worked very hard to
keep Red Hat Bugzilla up-to-date, and many people prefer the
snappier-looking page layout of Red Hat Bugzilla to the default
Mozilla-standard formatting.</para>

<section id="variant-fenris" xreflabel="Loki Bugzilla, a.k.a. Fenris">
<title>Loki Bugzilla (Fenris)</title>
<para>Fenris can be found at
<ulink url="http://fenris.lokigames.com/">
http://fenris.lokigames.com</ulink>
. It is a fork from Bugzilla.</para>
</section>
<section id="variant-issuezilla" xreflabel="Issuezilla">
<title>Issuezilla</title>
<para>Issuezilla is another fork from Bugzilla, and seems nearly as
popular as the Red Hat Bugzilla fork. Some Issuezilla team members are
regular contributors to the Bugzilla mailing list/newsgroup. Issuezilla
is not the primary focus of bug-tracking at tigris.org, however. Their
Java-based bug-tracker,
<xref linkend="variant-scarab" />
, is under heavy development and looks promising!</para>

<section id="variant-scarab"
xreflabel="Scarab, a newfangled Java-based issue tracker">
<title>Scarab</title>
<para>Scarab is a promising new bug-tracking system built using Java
Serlet technology. As of this writing, no source code has been released
as a package, but you can obtain the code from CVS.</para>

<section id="variant-perforce" xreflabel="Using Perforce to track bugs">
<title>Perforce SCM</title>
<para>Although Perforce isn't really a bug tracker, it can be used as
such through the
<quote>jobs</quote>
functionality.</para>

<section id="variant-sourceforge" xreflabel="SourceForge">
<title>SourceForge</title>
<para>SourceForge is more of a way of coordinating geographically
distributed free software and open source projects over the Internet than
strictly a bug tracker, but if you're hunting for bug-tracking for your
open project, it may be just what the software engineer ordered!</para>
