Aaron,

It is nice to see more people helping out with the Web Service API, I
recently created a Java XmlRpcClient to support a CRM application. It
uses the WebService API to create bugs and search for bug status. If you
want to get familiar with the search() an find() API. You may take a
look at 

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398281

The lastest patch.diff also contains the changes. Please try it out, the
patch may already have some features that you need.

Hi there,

I'm looking at integrating some functionality into an application I've
written to use some of the Bugzilla Web Services.  The application
itself is a Java application.  I was just wondering if there are any
examples or other resources I can use to help me get started with
this?

The Bugzilla docs list what services are available, but there isn't
much on how to actually access them.

Thanks in advance!

Brandon

you'll find a Perl script bz_webservice_demo.pl in Bugzilla's contrib
directory. Its POD is at
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/html/api/contrib/bz_webservice_demo.html
(as linked to from http://www.bugzilla.org/developers/ via
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/html/api/).

I know of at least two projects: 
c#: oss.dbc.dk/bugzproxy
perl: look in the bugzilla contrib directory

Both use libraries to construct, transfer and parse XML-RPC messages - you 
probably want to look at something like http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/ or 
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/j-xmlrpc.html (google java 
xml-rpc) and see if they don't have a testclient or something like that to 
test against a running bugzilla (such as landfill.bugzilla.org).

Mads

Brandon,

To connect to Bugzilla, Java applications must use XML::RPC. The most
challenging part of using Java XmlRpcClient is to support the Cookie for
maintaining a login session onto Bugzilla via the WebService API. There
are resources out on the web that hinted on how to do that. It needs the
3.x version of XmlRpcClient in order to override the HttpTransport class
though.

Alas gettext has little knowledge of translation problems, their vision 
boils down to
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Special-cases

It looks more applicable to error messages in command line utilities of 
early GNU era than to sophisticated and quality text translations.

And this is why it is done completely different way in Bugzilla-ru.

Any software localizer should be able to 'read' code written by others. 
Programming language does not matter as long as one can figure out these 
'small if-blocks'.

However, my lack in Perl knowledge DOES some trouble to, say, Bugzilla-ru.

	Locale::Maketext, however, has solved it, and we will be using
that with the gettext compatibility code, if we use gettext.

	I do understand the numeric inflection problem with Russian. :-)

  Yeah, we have some kind of Japanese templates for Bugzilla 3.0.

  But we do so many customizes to make Bugzilla 3.0 working with Japanese (or
multi-byte utf8), so they cannot be used with plain Bugzilla 3.0.
# We releases this customized (l18n-ed?) Bugzilla as Bugzilla-ja, and current
version is 3.0.3-ja.7.

  Of cource, we can release tar ball of Bugzilla 3.0.3-ja.7's templates....

Message-ID: <20080112094008.6fcd19cf@es-compy>

	Often people get an r- on their patches because of a
fundamental design problem.

	I think it would be nice to catch these things before people
post a patch.

	I was thinking that *optionally*, people could request
"design-approval?" on a bug when they had posted a comment or an
attachment that described *what* they wanted to do and *how* they
wanted to do it. You wouldn't *have* to set this flag, but if you got a
design-approval+, that would let you know that the proposal was good
and it would probably be accepted if worked upon.

	I would add this to Bugzilla:Developers on the wiki so people
would know to set it.

	Does this sound like a good idea?

Who would be allowed to grant or deny this flag? And why a comment from

Download and Install from 'Apache Friends' the XAMPP Package. 
Download and Install the Perl Addin for XAMPP
Download the Bugzilla Tar to c:\Program files\xampp\htdocs and decompress it (I have used 7Zip for this job)

If you have a Proxy in your company, add the 
 http_proxy=http://<Your Proxy>:<Port> - environment Variable

Go through the Bugzilla Docs and Install the Perl- Packages for Bugzilla
Check your xampp\apache\config - File, 
Add 

#"c:/programme/xampp/htdocs/bugzilla"
<Directory "c:/programme/xampp/htdocs/bugzilla">
  AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
  Options +Indexes +ExecCGI
  DirectoryIndex index.cgi
  AllowOverride Limit
</Directory>

To the config-File, (check your Path!) 

Add this to your Registry (this is for Apache to find and excecute the Perl interpreter while running 
Cgi files. (copy text to a textfile, rename it to *.reg and start/open this file.

Excecute the Bugzilla - Setup Script (look into the Bugzilla docs!) 
... It should work now

Can someone clarify what support there is in Bugzilla for UTF8 or other
multibyte character sets (UTF16)?  

Specifically: Can you record bugs in UTF8 (in Japanese, in Korean)?  (I
see there is contrib::recode so I assume you can store bugs in UTF8 if
you turn the utf8 parameter on)...  The 3.0 release notes say 'Bugzilla
now correctly supports searching and sorting in non-English languages,
including multi-bytes languages such as Chinese.'

Can you use UTF8 in templates?  The release notes for 2.22 state 'now
use UTF-8 encoding for all pages, automatically. It will also send
emails in UTF-8' but Atsushi Shimono's comments suggest that support for
UTF8 is limited to the ASCII 'portion'?  The only open bugs I can see
that would be relavent are UTF8 filenames for attachments [328628] and
comments not wrapping in UTF8[388723] (and maybe [395505] one about
garbled characters that is new).


If someone can clarify the status and the plans that'd be very helpful
thanks.

Regards,


Arthur

What kinds of customizations?  Bugzilla trunk (what'll eventually be 
3.2) has had a lot of changes made recently to properly handle UTF-8 in 
every way possible (this is part of the reason the trunk is too unstable 
to do a dev release right now).  Wondering if we're re-inventing the 
wheel... :)

  No, i think i'm merging the wheel to tip :p
  But, some (many?) of the patches are just 'Quick hack', so they could not
be applied to tip..

* Graph Issues
** Bug 287684 - UTF-8 chars incorrectly displayed on the dependency graph
** Bug 287682 - UTF-8 chars incorrectly displayed on the graphic reports
** Bug 364505 - Charts not localizable
* Comment Area
** Bug 388723 - Bugzilla 3.0 does not wrap Japanese comment text
* e-mail issues
** Bug 405444 - FormatDouble and FormatTriple mangle multi-byte strings in email
** Bug 405453 - bugzilla should encode X-Bugzilla header contents.
** (not-filed/rejected?) - Bugmail should support other encodings (not utf-8)

  i think the whole list is longer than above, but i forgot :-)


# the last one (for bugmail), some of webmails in Japan didn't support utf-8..
# defact-standard encoding for Japanese e-mail is 'iso-2022-jp', even now :)

	Server is just irc.mozilla.org. Once you join, then you join
the channel bugzilla-meeting.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398381 (choosing an

I particularly like the fact that comments (and the Problem

the general format.

Where can I see the customized template files for this site?

Subject: The Bugzilla FAQ is now on wiki
Message-ID: <478E73DD.10409@gmail.com>

Hi all,

I just removed the Bugzilla FAQ from CVS (a.k.a docs/xml/faq.xml). The 
official FAQ is now located on wiki at http://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:FAQ

This will avoid us to duplicate the information on both places, and the 
FAQ on wiki can more easily be updated and doesn't need to wait for a 
new release to be available.

But this means that FAQ is no longer tied to a particular shipping 
version, right? So someone needing help with an older release may find 
incorrect information?

You are right that we no longer provide FAQ per release, but the 
information on wiki should still be correct or usable as new features 
mention the release where they are available (e.g. "Since Bugzilla 2.22, 
you can indifferently use MySQL or PostgreSQL..."). This also offers the 
user of an older release a way to see since when a new feature has been 
available or when a common bug or limitation has been fixed.

I'd be interested if we could get a 'Wiki to Docbook' thing so we could 
convert the Wiki to a docbook page for inclusion in a release, pointing 
to the Wiki for more up-to-date stuff.

That's how I had originally envisioned it when we moved it to the 
wiki...  Use the wiki as our evolving copy, and take a snapshot of it 
for the docs every time we release.

But as long as we're religious about stating what versions an answer 
applies to and we don't remove questions that no longer apply to the tip 
until the version it does apply to is no longer supported, I'm okay with 
it either way.

IIRC there's a lot of places that link to the version in the docs...  we 
should probably get a redirect on the website from the old URL?

Hello,

Our Bugzilla meeting last Tuesday was a great success; we never had so 
many people attending (23!). This 3 hours long meeting was really 
interesting and lead to the creation of several new teams focusing on 
different aspects of Bugzilla, see:

http://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Meetings:2008-01-15
http://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Bugzilla:Teams

Besides the already existing QA and release teams, we just set up three 
new teams: a User Experience team, a l10n team and we revived the 
documentation team. Feel free to join us! More information at the links 
above.

Have a nice week-end

There are some more issues, affecting one or more locales:

If you have sufficient traffic and need a new newsgroup/mailing-list 
(e.g. mozilla.dev.apps.bugzilla.l10n), all you need to do is file a bug 
and we'll sort it out.

Currently we plan to reuse existing localizers at bugzilla.org for internal 
communication.

I do not feel we have to start new group for every separate long term 
design goal :-)  I think we _should_ use m.d.a.bugzilla to announce and 
discuss decisions, in order to increase awareness.

As of m.d.l10n -- we have little in common yet, as it comes to 
programming languages and toolkits.

   Willy.

Subject: some missing foreign key constraints in Bugzilla/DB/Schema.pm
Message-ID: <1200978980.4065.13.camel@dhcp-64-221.bne.redhat.com>

It seems that some foreign key constraints are not included in
Bugzilla/DB/Schema.pm.  For example, 

bugs.product_id: it can be 

product_id          => {TYPE => 'INT2', NOTNULL => 1,
                        REFERENCES => {TABLE => 'products',
                                       COLUMN => 'id'}}
longdescs.bug.id: it can be

bug_id          => {TYPE => 'INT3',  NOTNULL => 1,
                    REFERENCES => {TABLE => 'bugs',
                                   COLUMN => 'bug_id'}}

Did those missing foreign key constraints be taken out from db schema
for specific reasons?


Regards,
Tony

	They weren't taken out, they just haven't been implemented
yet! :-) You can help implement them if you want. The general tracking
bug is here:

Subject: Anyone got some input regarding - my auto population of custom fields project
Message-ID: <314c83b0801231528n2cb3ba68g9a199cddda3aa7e@mail.gmail.com>

I've run into a problem, and could use some assistance. I'm new to
Perl, and to contributing to the open source community. Please keep
that in mind if and when you respond.

Background Info: I have a MySQL database that contains a description
of about 100 different test systems.

Goal: Implement a method for users logging a new bug to auto populate
the contents of predefined custom fields based upon a supplied
systemID.

So far I've implemented the following changes to the file create.html.tmpl:
1.	Modified the contents of the template create.html.tmpl to display
custom fields in a two column format.
2.	Added a button titled "Fetch System Info"
3.	Implemented a JavaScript button "Clear System Info" to clear all
defined custom fields.

Now that my user interface modifications are complete I'm now working
on the problem of populating the custom fields based upon the user's
specified systemID. Remember I am not querying the Bugzilla database.
I am querying a separate MySQL database maintained by our System
Admin.

I've written a Perl script that allows me to connect to the MySQL
hardware lab database and perform a query. However, I am confused as
to how to implement the last portion of my project.

Should I be fetching and returning a complete list of systems and
corresponding info. If so how do I get the results of my query to be
available and usable via the template?


My Perl script is as follows:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use DBI;


my $hwl_dbh = DBI->connect( 'dbi:mysql:hwl',
                        'XXX',
                        'XXX',
                        {
                          RaiseError => 1,
                          AutoCommit => 0
                        }
                      ) || die "Database connection not made: $DBI::errstr";
#my $hwl_sql = qq{ SELECT SysID, SysName, Model FROM `BB-Systems`};
my $hwl_sth = $hwl_dbh->prepare( "SELECT SysID, SysName, Model FROM
`BB-Systems`" );
$hwl_sth->execute();

my( $sysId, $sysName, $sysModel );
$hwl_sth->bind_columns( undef, \$sysId, \$sysName, \$sysModel );
my @test;

while( $hwl_sth->fetch() ) {
    print "$sysId, $sysName, $sysModel\n";
}
$hwl_sth->finish();
$hwl_dbh->disconnect();

use ajax.

ensure that your cgi returns xml.
once you have the systemID, fire off an ajax request to your cgi.
when the result comes back, populate the other fields.

Subject: Working Toward HTML 5
Message-ID: <20080126000750.57c26ef1@es-compy>

	Now that there's an HTML 5 draft standard at the W3C, I'd at
least like to start thinking about it in relation to Bugzilla.

	Lots of browsers actually already implement HTML 5
features--it's just that now they're actually part of the standard.

	For anybody curious about what's changed in HTML 5, see:

	http://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/

	The reason I'm saying this is that historically, we've been
opposed to using any HTML that's "not in the standard." Well, now I'm
saying that if it's in the HTML 5 standard, and browsers actually
support it, then it's OK with me. (Other reviewers are free to chime in
on this, of course.) Of course, using any of the new tags or APIs that
browsers *don't* actually support yet wouldn't be allowed.

	And if there's a difference between the way an element is
supposed to be used in HTML 4 and the way it's supposed to be used in
HTML 5, I'd like to start slowly moving to the "way it's supposed to be
in HTML 5."

	So it's not a huge change, just a preparation for the future,
really.

Subject: Freezing!
Message-ID: <20080127115426.289cd06f@es-compy>

	Okay, so all the 3.1.3 blockers are resolved, and as we talked
about at the meeting, we're now going to freeze. Here is how this
freeze will work:

	From today (Sunday, January 27) until Sunday, February 3, we are
in a "soft freeze." That means any bug that currently (as of today) has
a patch on it can still go in to the trunk, but otherwise the trunk is
frozen, and no enhancements may be checked in. This is sort of a week
for things to "settle out" before we completely freeze and branch.

	On Monday, February 4, I will create a branch called
BUGZILLA-3_2-BRANCH. Any enhancement must have "blocking3.2+" on it in
order to be checked into that branch--otherwise only bug fixes will be
taken. Approvers can, of course, grant exceptions--if you want to know
in advance whether or not your patch will be accepted into the 3.2
branch, ask an approver (justdave, myk, LpSolit, or myself).

	This is different than our past freezes in that we will be
branching instantly when we "hard freeze" on February 4, so the trunk
will stay open for development. I don't necessarily expect this to make
3.2 any faster of a release, but I do expect it to help out a lot with
the speed of our 4.0 release.

	Once we branch, general development focus should still be on
3.2, but enhancements that aren't appropriate on a frozen branch can
still be checked in to the trunk, allowing us to keep up development
momentum.

The issue is available for download from the site as a PDF. Here's a 
quote from the category in which we beat them (they beat us on Windows 
install):

                   Security is job #1. According to Bug-
                   zilla?s maintainers: ?The current develop-
                   er community is very much concerned
                   with the security of your site and your
                   Bugzilla data. As such, we make every
                   attempt to seal up any security holes as
                   soon as possible after they are found.?
                       As such, a list of the security advi-
                   sories issued with each release that
                   included security-related fixes is provid-
                   ed on the Bugzilla homepage. ?This is
                   almost every version we?ve ever released
                   since 2.10,? read a statement, indicative
                   of the recent attention being paid to
                   security matters.
                       When I asked the Trac develop-
                   ment team about its attention to secu-
                   rity, I got this response: ?I cannot give
                   a complete answer, but what I know is
                   that we actively look at code we have
                   from multiple angles to see if there?s a
                   potential abuse.? I am concerned
                   about such a lax position toward secu-
                   rity. In our case, lax security was a deal
                   breaker. And because of the attention
                   to security paid by Bugzilla developers
                   of late, the project?s longevity also
                              played a major part; they?ve
                              had more time to fix security
                              flaws.

Looks like people appreciate our approach to security :-)

Max,

There are two places where users must "uncheck" the box when they don't
want to be added to the CC list when in edit mode from this form.  I see
that this was checked in so I'll file a bug.

I like the improvements, however, I actually like the proposed screen
much better for two reasons - it uses what appears to be a tabbed view
to the bug and offers the "most critical" pieces of information at a
glance.

This is an interesting list, but it's not clear what it's for. By that I 
mean, it could be for several things, and it's not obvious which one(s). 
Is it:

- A list of bugs the l10n team would like to fix;

- A document telling localisers how best to deal with particular l10n 
issues they will encounter;

- Gathering of support for making a proposal to radically change the way 
we do l10n

?

Well... It is a draft standard. And, at least as I understand it, this 
is not the W3C "we're waiting until there's two competing 
implementations before it's official" type of "draft", it's the "no, 
it's really definitely not done yet, anything may change" sort of draft.

Well, we've been using XHR, haven't we? That's not in any standard.

Having said what I said above, it's fairly clear in some parts of the 
spec which way the wind is blowing. I'm not objecting to us jumping the 
gun slightly, as long as we are aware we are doing it.

	Okay, fair 'nuf.

	No, we haven't, yet. But we also weren't holding JS to any
standard other than "works in all browsers that we support."

	Yeah, that sounds like a good attitude to me, too.

This was first intention: increase awareness, share knowledge and reduce 
effort duplication.  Localizers teams are different in their skills and 
cunning -- some still fight in isolation, while others may already have 
a cure.

Sure, this was my second intention (by priority).  But true fix for l12y 
bug SHOULD work for all languages and requires specific testing.  See 
bug 394516 as an example what can happen with obvious solution when it 
comes to l10n nightmare :-)

Not before we gather many samples and notice some (negative?) tendency.
Bugzilla l10n team is only 2 weeks old -- way too young to get radical :-)

   Regards,
   Willy.

Looking over the wiki page at:
http://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:L10N:Problems

For "Grammatical gender" issue, isn't that already dealt with using
$terms.ABug?  $terms.ABug="El Bug" or $terms.ABug="La Peticion"?
