From justdave at bugzilla.org Wed Oct 17 23:37:24 2007 From: justdave at bugzilla.org (David Miller) Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2007 19:37:24 -0400 Subject: Removal of several Bugzilla configuration parameters just around the corner Message-ID: <47169CB4.1030002@bugzilla.org> We are going to remove many configuration parameters in a future Bugzilla release in order to clear up some clutter in the administration screens. Maybe in Bugzilla 3.2, but more likely in Bugzilla 3.4/4.0. In many cases, these configuration options are for features that very few people use, and would be insanely easy to customize or move to plugins for the few people who do use them (and we can probably document how to do it), and in other cases are items that are possible to automatically configure based on information available already on modern servers. You can see the list of parameters we are going to remove here: If for any reason you think removing a given parameter is definitely a bad idea, *and* you have a real use case, please comment in the bug directly (unless you have no user account on bugzilla.mozilla.org, but you could easily create one). There is also a thread on the support-bugzilla mailing list with the title "Removal of several parameters just around the corner" which you could reply to if you can't/won't set up a b.m.o account. Details for how to access the support-bugzilla list are at Thanks for your support of the Bugzilla project as we endeavor to keep making Bugzilla easier to use!
