I added related information to the Bugzilla Guide, and tacked in a couple of last-minute additions. Also fixed the annoying "Tip: HINT:" thing. git-svn-id: svn://10.0.0.236/trunk@93103 18797224-902f-48f8-a5cc-f745e15eee43

> Red Hat Bugzilla is probably the most popular Bugzilla variant, aside from Mozilla Bugzilla,

on the planet.
|
|
One of the major benefits of Red Hat Bugzilla is the ability to work with Oracle as a
|
|
database, as well as MySQL.

Here's what Dave Lawrence had to say about the status of Red Hat Bugzilla,

> Hello. I apologize that I am getting back to you so late. It has been difficult to keep<br>
|
|
up with email this past week. I have checked out your updated documentation and I will<br>
|
|
have to say very good work. A few notes and additions as follows.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
(ed: from the FAQ)<br>
|
|
>For the record, we are not using any template type implementation for the cosmetic changes <br>
|
|
>maded to Bugzilla. It is just alot of html changes in the code itself. I admit I may have <br>
|
|
>gotten a little carried away with it but the corporate types asked for a more standardized <br>
|
|
>interface to match up with other projects relating to Red Hat web sites. A lot of other web <br>
|
|
>based internal tools I am working on also look like Bugzilla. <br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
This should probably be changed since we are now in fact using Text::Template for most<br>
|
|
of the html rendering. You actually state this later in your numbered list.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Also number 6 contradicts number 8 where number 6 would be the most up to date status<br>
|
|
on the Oracle port.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Additional Information:<br>
|
|
-----------------------------<br>
|
|
1. Comments are now stored in varchar fields of 4k in size each. If the comment is more<br>
|
|
than 4k it is broken up into chunks and given a sort number so each comment can be re<br>
|
|
assembled in the correct order. This was done because originally I was storing the comments<br>
|
|
in a long datatype which unfortunately cannot be indexed or joined with another table. This<br>
|
|
cause the search of text within the long description to be disabled for a long time. That<br>
|
|
is now working and is nto showing any noticeble performance hit that I can tell. <br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
2. Work is being started on internationalizing the Bugzilla source we have to allow our<br>
|
|
Japanese customers to enter bug reports into a single bugzilla system. This will probably<br>
|
|
be done by using the nvarchar data types supported by Oracle which allows storage of<br>
|
|
double byte characters and also the use of the Accept-Language in the http header for <br>
|
|
detection by Bugilla of which language to render.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
3. Of course even more cosmetic changes. It is difficult to keep up with the ever <br>
|
|
changing faces of www.redhat.com.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
4. Some convenience enhancements in the administration utilities. And more integration<br>
|
|
with other internal/external Red Hat web sites.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
I hope this information may prove helpful for your documentation. Please contact<br>
|
|
me if you have any more question or I can do anything else.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Regards<br>
