<note>

<para>

I <emphasis>know</emphasis> there are more variants than just RedHat Bugzilla out there.
|
|
Please help me get information about them, their project status, and benefits there
|
|
might be in using them or in using their code in main-tree Bugzilla.

<title>Red Hat Bugzilla</title>

<para>

|
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,
|
|
<blockquote>

|
|
Hello. I apologize that I am getting back to you so late. It has been difficult to keep
|
|
up with email this past week. I have checked out your updated documentation and I will
|
|
have to say very good work. A few notes and additions as follows.
|
|
|
|
(ed: from the FAQ)
|
|
>For the record, we are not using any template type implementation for the cosmetic changes
|
|
>maded to Bugzilla. It is just alot of html changes in the code itself. I admit I may have
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
This should probably be changed since we are now in fact using Text::Template for most
|
|
of the html rendering. You actually state this later in your numbered list.
|
|
|
|
Also number 6 contradicts number 8 where number 6 would be the most up to date status
|
|
on the Oracle port.
|
|
|
|
Additional Information:
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
1. Comments are now stored in varchar fields of 4k in size each. If the comment is more
|
|
than 4k it is broken up into chunks and given a sort number so each comment can be re
|
|
assembled in the correct order. This was done because originally I was storing the comments
|
|
in a long datatype which unfortunately cannot be indexed or joined with another table. This
|
|
cause the search of text within the long description to be disabled for a long time. That
|
|
is now working and is nto showing any noticeble performance hit that I can tell.
|
|
|
|
2. Work is being started on internationalizing the Bugzilla source we have to allow our
|
|
Japanese customers to enter bug reports into a single bugzilla system. This will probably
|
|
be done by using the nvarchar data types supported by Oracle which allows storage of
|
|
double byte characters and also the use of the Accept-Language in the http header for
|
|
detection by Bugilla of which language to render.
|
|
|
|
3. Of course even more cosmetic changes. It is difficult to keep up with the ever
|
|
changing faces of www.redhat.com.
|
|
|
|
4. Some convenience enhancements in the administration utilities. And more integration
|
|
with other internal/external Red Hat web sites.
|
|
|
|
I hope this information may prove helpful for your documentation. Please contact
|
|
me if you have any more question or I can do anything else.
|
|

Regards
