I've been working with bugzilla for years.. at Mandriva I was the primary bugzilla care-taker for a few years, and now with Red Hat I do a lot of work on some internal tools that interface with bugzilla that enhances and directs the workflow of day-to-day work (being that we work with bugzilla all the time). I also run my own bugzilla instance a) so I can keep up to date with the goings-on ...

I'm a big fan of the git-notifier script, which acts as a hook in git to send you nice emails about things that have changed in your git repos. I'm also a bugzilla user, so I wanted to be able to put git commit notifications, automatically, in bugzilla if "bug #X" is in the commit log. Initially I was intending to use gitzilla for this, but I didn't feel like attempting ...

I've spent the entire day yesterday and another day last week working on migrating the current Mandriva bugzilla 3.0.5 to the new 3.2rc1. You won't see it anywhere official until 2009.0 is released most likely, but having (some) spare time, I wouldn't to put it through the paces in a vmware machine to make sure I can document everything that needs doing and minimize downtime when it comes time to do the actual upgrade.

It's fast, it's clean... the old one ...

And a few minor cosmetics. Head on over to bugzilla.linsec.ca and check it out. Constructive feedback is welcome and encouraged!
Now the only thing left to do is handle components in a sane fashion (and fix a bugzilla bug that doesn't ...

Well, someone else was supposed to be working on the new bugzilla, but they got pulled off for an OEM project (completely understandable), so since I really need some functionality and speed out of bugzilla to progress with some work flows I have in mind, I decided to hunker down and do the dang thing myself.
For starters you can take a peek at the current implementation here: bugzilla.linsec.ca. A good sample bug to ...

I had asked on IRC the other day for info on how to send emails to bugzilla. Well, I found the actual specs for it on the bugzilla site. The documentation in the bugzilla tarball is a bit dated in this regard.
The only problem is that checksetup.pl is a little strict and keeps changing permissions on me. For me to use this with my own bugzilla, I need to either have ...
