Hi everyone,

I need a PHP/MySQL based Bug Tracking script that will allow me to put up a downloads section and focus each download to have it's own issue list.

I can't seem to find any Bug tracking scripts that can do this.

Can anyone recommend me one, I prefer opensource, thanks.

A: 

I don't think you'll get lucky with a bug tracker supporting a file oriented bug list as such. However, most bug tracking systems allow you to file bugs related to a specific version or release number.

Giving each download a version/build/release number, and filing bugs against that number, is the way to go.

As to software recommendations, there are several questions dealing with that already:

A bug tracker that supports filing bugs against a version number and a flexible structure of projects and sub-projects is Redmine. It's my personal bug tracking recommendation next to Trac. They're both not PHP based, though.

Also many bug trackers support projects. If you are supporting different products, you can setup a project for each product and then have your download page link directly to the project for each one.

Thanks guys , well it's mainly one project and different version numbers, I know a bug tracker can easily support this, but I would like an area for the user to download the files as well, located mainly in the versions information area.
