<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 a fork of Bugzilla 2.8.
One of its major benefits is the ability
to work with Oracle, MySQL, and PostGreSQL databases serving as the
back-end, instead of just MySQL. Dave Lawrence of Red Hat is
active in the Bugzilla community, and we hope to see a reunification
of the fork before too long.</para>

<section id="variant-fenris" xreflabel="Loki Bugzilla, a.k.a. Fenris">
<title>Loki Bugzilla (Fenris)</title>
<para>Fenris was a fork from Bugzilla made by Loki Games; when
Loki went into receivership, it died. While Loki's other code lives on,
its custodians recommend Bugzilla for future bug-tracker deployments.
</para>

<section id="variant-issuezilla" xreflabel="Issuezilla">
<title>Issuezilla</title>
<para>Issuezilla was another fork from Bugzilla, made by collab.net and
hosted at tigris.org. It is also dead; the primary focus of bug-tracking
at tigris.org is their Java-based bug-tracker,
<xref linkend="variant-scarab"/>.</para>

<title>Scarab</title>
<para>Scarab is a new open source bug-tracking system built using Java
Serlet technology. It is currently at version 1.0 beta 8.</para>

<para>Although Perforce isn't really a bug tracker, it can be used as
such through the <quote>jobs</quote>
functionality.</para>

<title>SourceForge</title>
<para>SourceForge is a way of coordinating geographically
distributed free software and open source projects over the Internet.
It has a built-in bug tracker, but it's not highly thought of.</para>
