|
> This document was started on September 17, 2000
|
|
by Matthew P. Barnson after a great deal of procrastination updating the Bugzilla FAQ,
|
|
which I left untouched for nearly half a year.
|
|
After numerous complete rewrites and reformatting, it is the document you see today.
|
|
</P
|
|
><P
|
|
> Despite the lack of updates, Bugzilla is simply the best piece of bug-tracking software
|
|
the world has ever seen. This document is intended to be the comprehensive guide to
|
|
the installation, administration, maintenance, and use of the Bugzilla bug-tracking system.
|
|
</P
|
|
><P
|
|
> This release of the Bugzilla Guide is the <EM
|
|
>2.11</EM
|
|
> release.
|
|
It is so named that it may match the current version of Bugzilla.
|
|
The numbering tradition stems from that used for many free software projects,
|
|
in which <EM
|
|
>even-numbered</EM
|
|
> point releases (1.2, 1.14, etc.)
|
|
are considered "stable releases", intended for public consumption; on the other
|
|
hand, <EM
|
|
>odd-numbered</EM
|
|
> point releases (1.3, 2.09, etc.)
|
|
are considered unstable <EM
|
|
>development</EM
|
|
> releases intended
|
|
for advanced users, systems administrators, developers, and those who enjoy
|
|
a lot of pain.
|
|
</P
|
|
><P
|
|
> Newer revisions of the Bugzilla Guide will follow the numbering conventions of
|
|
the main-tree Bugzilla releases, available at
|
|
<A
|
|
HREF="http://www.mozilla.org/bugs/source.html"
|
|
TARGET="_top"
|
|
>Mozilla.org</A
|
|
>, with
|
|
the exception that intermediate releases will have a minor revision number
|
|
following a period. For instance, if the current version of Bugzilla is 4.2,
|
|
the current "stable" version of the Bugzilla guide, in, say, it's fifth revision,
|
|
would be numbered "4.2.5". Got it? Good.
|
|
</P
|
|
><P
|
|
> I wrote this in response to the enormous demand for decent Bugzilla documentation.
|
|
I have incorporated instructions from the Bugzilla README, Frequently Asked Questions,
|
|
Database Schema Document, and various mailing lists to create it.

|
