barnboy%trilobyte.net 51a7de4d46 Updated Bugzilla Guide and README to fix bug 76156, bug 76841, and bug 26242.
The README is now gutted, pointers to Guide.  Also some new sections added,
old ones fixed, and notes appended to deprecated sections I've not yet had
the heart to remove.

> Richard Brooksby created a Perforce integration tool for Bugzilla and TeamTrack.
You can find the main project page at
<A

> http://www.ravenbrook.com/project/p4dti</A
>. "p4dti" is now an officially
supported product from Perforce, and you can find the "Perforce Public Depot"
p4dti page at <A
HREF="http://public.perforce.com/public/perforce/p4dti/index.html"

> Integration of Perforce with Bugzilla, once patches are applied, is fairly seamless. However,
p4dti is a patch against the Bugzilla 2.10 release, not the current 2.12 release. I anticipate
patches for 2.12 will be out shortly. Check the project page regularly for updates, or
take the given patches and patch it manually. p4dti is designed to support multiple defect
trackers, and maintains its own documentation for it. Please consult the pages linked
above for further information.

> Right now, there is no way to synchronize the Bug ID and the Perforce Transaction Number, or
to change the Bug ID to read (PRODUCT).bugID unless you hack it in. Additionally, if you
have synchronization problems, the easiest way to avoid them is to only put the bug
information, comments, etc. into Bugzilla, and not into the Perforce change records.
They will link anyway; merely reference the bug ID fixed in your change description,
and put a comment into Bugzilla
giving the change ID that fixed the Bugzilla bug. It's a process issue, not a technology
question.
