And just in case anyone's following along, trick-or-treating and some
last-minute stuff for work kinda got in the way this afternoon/evening.
There's a fair amount of stuff that has to be done yet (getting the
appropriate web pages queued for update on the website, getting some last
minute documentation changes checked in, etc) but we're within a few hours
of being ready to go, and I'm running out of steam for tonight.  So it'll
happen some time on Saturday :)

Someone with write access to cvs checks it in.

But it hasn't been approved yet.  In fact, the current version of the patch
on that bug hasn't been reviewed yet.  It has a review? flag set.  Pester
the requestee or request it from someone else.

> also what is the story on custom resolutions / status?

There's been lots of ideas posted.  It's waiting for someone to write code.

Re: POST_ and PRE_CHOMP?

When we initially wrote the first templates, we did some experimenting. 
We wrote some templates in the style we wanted to use, and then tried 
PRE, POST, both and neither to see which produced the nicer-looking 
HTML. The answer was PRE.

Turning both on makes it all one line (basically), and having none 
leaves too much whitespace and general ugliness. All of the current 
templates are written such that PRE does the right thing - I don't think 
  we can change it now.

off.

Re: Licensing issues

Your question is loosely worded; do you mean "what is the value to use

They should have the same initial developer as the original CGI.

They should have the initial developer set to the, er, initial developer 
of the file :-)

In practice, as far as I can see, there's very little legal difference 
in the MPL between someone who is the Initial Developer and someone who 
is a Contributor. So it's nothing to worry about massively.

Note that there is no "assigning copyright" (from your original 
question) ever involved in licensing files under the MPL or the 
tri-license, or contributing them to Bugzilla; the person who wrote a 
particular file or code fragment always retains copyright on it.

longdescs no pk?

(1) Why doesn't the longdesc table have a primary key?

(2) Would there be any harm in putting an autoincrement key or something
in there?  I can't think of any reason why it would, but my imagination is
currently unusually limited by the sensory overload of being at an
insurance conference at the Opryland.  I wish I was kidding.  :)

(3) Is there a preferred official solution to this?  It would seem like a
primary key across bug_id,who,bug_when would also work.  That's not as
'neat and clean' to store for my purposes, but if that's the official
answer I'll go with it.

I first noticed this when I was trying to hand edit some old comments
using Mysqltool.  (bad bad i know.)  But now I'm trying to track which
bugs have been billed and which haven't and a primary key, any primary
key, would make that a whole lot easier.

Any help on this would be appreciated.  I have't researched this as
thoroughly as I'd like because I'm stuck in a hotel without Internet.  
Ugh!  I hate modems.

Re: The Bugzilla website needs an overhaul

This is pretty good :-)

A few thoughts:

- We definitely don't want screeds of text on the front page. I've never 
liked the patronising tone of that bit of text which begins 'Bugzilla is 
one example of a class of programs called "Defect Tracking Systems"' anyway.

- We need to choose a flipping logo and be done with it! :-)

- News shouldn't be at the bottom of the left hand sidebar (it's 
probably moving in website-beta as well.) It's far too hidden.

- The first paragraph is too close to the "About Bugzilla" title.

- The search box's "raised" look is very odd.

I'd prefer #2.   That will also help with people who use M$ACCESS to 
front-end the DB for special reports while preserving my right to make 
multiple comments to the same bug within the same second.  That key 
could even turn out to be useful eventually.

sql query question?

i've hit a wall trying to generate a report for my manager and i figured i'd
ask here. 

for a given range of dates, i need a list of bugs that were filed with a
particular target_milestone. this seems like it should be easy enough to do
with one query against 2 tables (bugs, bugs_activity), but everything i've
come up with has hung my mysql server. 

i've written a program to do this with many queries, and at least i have
results to give my boss, but i feel stupid for not being able to come up with
the correct magic query. any ideas?

Re: longdescs no pk?

Theres a bug somewhere on comments being swtiched arround daylight
saving, because the second 2:30am is 'earlier' than 3am. I'd prefer a PK
of (bug#, comment#), since that makes it easy to get the current comment
nyumbers, so we could display them on teh midair checkin list, in
emails, and so on.
