I prefer that bugs be reported on this forum here. Most bugs affect every midas user, so best to notify the
whole community.
Bitbucket have a nice bug tracking system, but there is a couple of problems:
a) only a couple of people see the bug reports for midas, minimizing probability of fix.
b) bug reports on bitbucket stay on bitbucket, we do not have backups and archives
of bug reports, if tomorrow bitbucket goes belly-up, our bug database goes poof! with them.
c) I can search the bug report on this forum using "grep" (i am sure there is a "find" button
on the bitbucket web page and it finds what I am looking for right away).
So if you have a bug report that others should know about (i.e. the "+" button on the status page does
not work), I say use this forum.
If you have a bug that you think is unique to you, not interesting to others (i.e. my midas crashes when I
do X), file it on bitbucket. If you see no activity on the bitbucket for a week or two, repost it here.
