|
> 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
|
|
> 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
|
|
>2.14</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 follow the numbering
|
|
conventions of the main-tree Bugzilla releases, available at
|
|
<A
|
|
HREF="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bugzilla"
|
|
TARGET="_top"
|
|
>http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bugzilla</A
|
|
>. Intermediate releases will have
|
|
a minor revision number following a period. The current version
|
|
of Bugzilla, as of this writing (August 10, 2001) is 2.14; if
|
|
something were seriously wrong with that edition of the Guide,
|
|
subsequent releases would receive an additional dotted-decimal
|
|
digit to indicate the update (2.14.1, 2.14.2, etc.).
|
|
Got it? Good.

|
|
> 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. Chances are,
|
|
there are glaring errors in this documentation; please contact
