Hello GNOME Developers and Bug Triagers! The code work for the Bugzilla
3.4 upgrade is complete, and after conferring with the infrastructure
team and the release team, we've set the date of the upgrade for
Saturday, August 15. I expect there to be roughly six hours of downtime
if everything goes well, starting at 9:00am Pacific time (that's 16:00
UTC). However, if anything goes wrong (and I don't expect it to--I've
already done several test upgrades), Bugzilla may possibly be down for
the entire weekend.
There is now a test server containing the data from bugzilla.gnome.org
as of about a week ago:
http://bugzilla-test.gnome.org/
Email is off on this installation, so you can play with it to your
heart's content. It does not affect the actual bugzilla.gnome.org when
you make changes on this server.
You should find the new server to be faster for every operation than
the old server. If you spot any performance problems, please report them
by sending me an email.
Please test this and report any bugs that you find! The best way to
report bugs at this point would just be to send me an email directly.

very minor tweaks). It would probably be best to stick to just bug
reports for now, in terms of feedback. If UI changes are desired or
required, bugs can be filed for them after the upgrade is complete.
(Preferably, if you want UI changes to Bugzilla, we'd like your help to

Tarballs are due on 2009-08-10 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 2.27.90 beta release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Modules which were proposed for inclusion should try to follow the unstable schedule so everyone can test them. Please make sure that your tarballs will be uploaded before Monday 23:59 UTC: tarballs uploaded later than that will probably be too late to get in 2.27.90. If you are not able to make a tarball before this deadline or if you think you'll be late, please send a mail to the release team and we'll find someone to roll the tarball for you! No UI changes may be made at all without confirmation from the release team and notification to the documentation team. For more information about 2.27, the full schedule, the official module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our colourful 2.27 page: http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable For a quick overview of the GNOME schedule, please see: http://live.gnome.org/Schedule Thanks,
