[opensuse-project] [ANNOUNCE] Bugzilla 4.4.5 Update this weekend
Hi openSUSE folks, we're going to update the openSUSE bugzilla from ancient version 3.4.3 to version 4.4.5. We do this mainly for three reasons: - to get new features and better speed - to get better customization support - to get all security holes fixed The update will happen on September 20th, aka this weekend. From a user experience, Bugzilla version 4.4.5 is not very different to 3.4.3, but there are some incompatible changes to watch out for: * NEEDINFO is no longer a state, but a flag. This has the advantage that a bug can have multiple needinfos set. The UI still offers the needinfo checkboxes, so you should not notice this much. * Some states got updated to sync with upstream bugzilla: ASSIGNED has been split into CONFIRMED and IN_PROGRESS. CONFIRMED means that you acknowlede that there is a bug, IN_PROGRESS means that you work on the bug. CLOSED has been merged into VERIFIED. The standard bug life cycle is thus: NEW -> CONFIRMED -> IN_PROGRESS -> RESOLVED -> VERIFIED * Partner IDs are stored as "See Also" URLs. There are shortcuts to add them, e.g. "FATE-2222" maps to the id in fate. There's also "CVE-XXXX" to map to the mitre server for the security inclined. With the update come per-business unit bugzilla styles and product filtering, thus navigating to "bugzilla.opensuse.org" will get you to openSUSE's bugzilla instance in a friendly green look instead of the old wiki page. Note that this is just a different skin for the same novell.com bugzilla, you can even configure it in the bugzilla preferences section. (In case you're wondering, there's also bugzilla.suse.com, bugzilla.netiq.com, and bugzilla.novell.com.)

Hi Michael,
This is great news - having our own openSUSE frontend with a potential
for customising/streamlining seperate from Novell/SUSE's has been
something I've been asking to see for a really long time
While I realise that these 'new' bugzillas (bugzilla.suse.com,
bugzilla.opensuse.org) are really just custom frontends to the same
database backend, I have one question, regarding bugzilla
'shortcodes', eg bnc#
Can we now suse bsc# for bugs we want to identify as primarily a
'SUSE' bug, and boo# for openSUSE bugs?
I quite like the idea of having 'boo# numbers' for openSUSE bugs.. has
a nice halloween feel to it
Regards
Richard

The update will happen on September 20th, aka this weekend. From a user experience, Bugzilla version 4.4.5 is not very different to 3.4.3, but there are some incompatible changes to watch out for:
* NEEDINFO is no longer a state, but a flag. This has the advantage that a bug can have multiple needinfos set. The UI still offers the needinfo checkboxes, so you should not notice this much.
* Some states got updated to sync with upstream bugzilla:
ASSIGNED has been split into CONFIRMED and IN_PROGRESS. CONFIRMED means that you acknowlede that there is a bug, IN_PROGRESS means that you work on the bug.
CLOSED has been merged into VERIFIED.
The standard bug life cycle is thus:
NEW -> CONFIRMED -> IN_PROGRESS -> RESOLVED -> VERIFIED
* Partner IDs are stored as "See Also" URLs. There are shortcuts to add them, e.g. "FATE-2222" maps to the id in fate. There's also "CVE-XXXX" to map to the mitre server for the security inclined.

I would suggest to keep bnc# for now, lots of scripts would need to be adjusted :/ Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

I know of just one: bwiedemann's script that scans .changes files and puts notice into the corresponding Bugzilla report. ("PKG has been mentioned in BSPRJ") -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

well, some openSUSE maintenance tools, OBS itself. Of course new prefixes could be added. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

With the update come per-business unit bugzilla styles and product filtering, thus navigating to "bugzilla.opensuse.org" will get you to openSUSE's bugzilla instance in a friendly green look instead of the old wiki page.
Note that this is just a different skin for the same novell.com bugzilla, you can even configure it in the bugzilla preferences section. (In case you're wondering, there's also bugzilla.suse.com, bugzilla.netiq.com, and bugzilla.novell.com.)
Right now all bnc links on SLES patch finder appear broken. The from latest patch (https://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=FmwH5u8_Lvs~): https://bugzilla.novell.com/849202 => 404 Not Found. I understand that it is not SLES list, but I suspect same problem with openSUSE bugs as well ... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Whoa! I don't think /849202 was ever an official way to access a bug. Anyway, I'll ask our Bugzilla folks to implement it. Thanks for the info, Michael. -- Michael Schroeder mls@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF Jeff Hawn, HRB 16746 AG Nuernberg main(_){while(_=~getchar())putchar(~_-1/(~(_|32)/13*2-11)*13);} -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Well, I just got announcement from opensuse-security with the same link ...
