I've locally installed webdot to get dependency graphs. After so much
mork making it run, I may make a package of it ;)
However, it turns out the showdependency graph has a couple of problems:
- it creates temporary files in $webdotdir, which by defaults is in
/usr/share/. This violates FHS, it should at least be in /var, if not in
/tmp. I do not think we should consider this issue as RC yet, since
webdot is not available in Debian (and testing a fix will not be very
convenient for you, obviously)
- it uses the $filename generated by File::Temp::tempfile in the generated
URL, which forces to add an Apache alias looking like the following:
Alias /usr/share/bugzilla/web/data/webdot/
/usr/share/bugzilla/web/data/webdot/

The usage of GraphViz was fixed. Please refer to
/usr/share/doc/bugzilla3/README.Debian
About GraphViz and dependency graphs ("webdotbase", "webdotdir")
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The "webdotbase" configuration paramter (/etc/bugzilla3/params) has
to be set to `/usr/bin/dot`. This parameter can be configured by Bugzilla's
"Parameters >> Dependency Graphs" too. The "webdotdir" configuration
parameter has to be set to the directory where `/webdot` sub-directory
exists. In our case it is `/var/lib/bugzilla3/data`. The "/webdot" directory
is sym-linked from `/usr/lib/cgi-bin/bugzilla3`. This is mandatory for
configuration simplificity. Images created by GraphViz (/usr/bin/dot) are
stored in the `/webdot` subdirectory. With the sym-link it's possible to
reference them by the URL "urlbase"/webdot/XXXX.png. Make sure your
HTTP server configuration follow sym-links in `/usr/lib/cgi-bin/bugzilla3`
directory.
For examples check the examples in `/usr/share/doc/bugzilla3/examples`.
