[llvm-dev] IMPORTANT: LLVM Bugzilla migration

Tue Nov 23 08:36:38 PST 2021

Thanks for sharing this!  It's really helpful (if for nothing else than to
see that I obviously did submit the form at some point).

One minor thing I noticed so far (other than keyword search not working at
all as Aaron has already pointed out) is that a few of the bug titles have
been mangled.  Specifically ones like this:

https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38777
https://github.com/llvm/test8/issues/38777

where the [DebugInfo at O2] tag has been turned into [DebugInfo@O2]

Cheers,
-Greg
