bugzilla.mozilla.org improvements

Over the next few months, I will be working on improving 
bugzilla.mozilla.org to better meet the needs of the Mozilla development 
community.[0] I am therefore gathering 'requirements' - that is to say, 
asking people's opinion about which possible improvements would be most 
useful. This newsgroup post and an associated blogpost pointing here are 
a start; please let me know if there are other forums I could usefully 
ask in.

(I apologise if the reasonably wide crossposting irritates anyone. It 
seems that mozilla.announce has morphed into something which 
non-community-members subscribe to for notification about updates to 
Firefox and Thunderbird, so I suspect it's no longer appropriate for 
this sort of message. Perhaps we need a mozilla.dev.announce.)

Please say what the change you are requesting is, and why making it 
would improve your life. References to previous discussions and bug 
numbers would help.

Feel free to suggest configuration changes as well as code changes, of 
sizes both big and small. I anticipate working on maybe 1 or 2 larger 
things, but I hope to also be able to fix some small-but-annoying things 
along the way. I can't promise that any particular change will be worked 
on, even if supported very vocally. There are a number of factors which 
will affect the decision, including our desire to help the Bugzilla 
development community achieve its goals - both technical and social.

I can't promise a timeframe by which the changes will be available. My 
aim is, for non-b.m.o.-specific changes, to get them into the Bugzilla 
trunk and have them flow down to b.m.o. from there. And so it is 
dependent on Bugzilla release schedules and b.m.o. upgrades, which are

Re: bugzilla.mozilla.org improvements

	Just so you all know, the main thread is here:

http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/browse_thread/thread/cbb2b2cee1ab62ce/379a59b0d9652921

	And I have already made several replies to it.

Indeed; thank you for your input. I'm hoping we can take some of the 
pent-up frustration and channel it positively :-) I'm attempting to 
document (without much evaluation) all the suggestions here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/BugzillaImprovements

I know some things being asked for are already fixed, and for some 
others (branch support!) there's a lot of history and thinking that's 
been done already that I need to get familiar with.

Re: Chart not installing

Michael-

I've seen this same problem.  I manually installed chart on Linux (see my notes here):

http://qasite.wordpress.com/2008/01/13/bugzilla-dependencies/

– manually install Chart
# wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/C/CH/CHARTGRP/Chart-2.4.1.tar.gz
# tar -xvzf Chart-2.4.1.tar.gz
# cd Chart-2.4.1
# perl Makefile.PL
# make && make test && make install

I'm not sure if that's with Perl 5.8 or 5.10 though.  And getting make to work properly with CPAN modules on Windows is notoriously difficult.  Chart is not strictly required for Bugzilla, but if you want the feature (I initially thought it would be cool, but haven't really used it), I guess you need it.

Re: Chart not installing

Michael-

I found another post on my blog where I did install the Chart.ppm (2.3) on Windows (with Perl 5.8.8)  with no problems.
This post shows all the versions and dependencies:

http://fijiaaron.wordpress.com/2008/07/09/bugzilla-perlmagick-on-windows/

You might try getting it from another PPM repository as well.

I've had luck with bribes.org and trouchelle.com when theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca didn't work.

Re: Chart not installing

Hi Michael,

I had no problems installing GD & Chart on Windows using ActivePerl 5.10.1004:

checksetup.pl my installation:
Checking for                  GD (v1.20)   ok: found v2.41
Checking for               Chart (v1.0)    ok: found v2.4.1

Did you perhaps miss the step of adding the PPM repo:
"ppm repo add theory58S http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPM Packages/10xx/"

	This conversation should happen on the support-bugzilla mailing list,

Re: Modifications offering


Hello!

         I am actually customizing bugzilla for a client and custom field
targeting is a sine qua none feature for me to continue the project. 
         I would be most grateful if you could provide me your solution to
restrict custom fields to products in bugzilla

You can already do that with Bugzilla 3.4.
