I've worked through RoundUp and, while it's so general that we could
make it an ideal candidate, its default configuration is so far from
ideal that it's not worth pursuing.
As a result of a discussion on pkg-discuss, I stayed up late and have
a sandbox installation of Bugzilla 3.1.2 installed in a zone in the
opensolaris.org cage. I'm waiting for the DNS record and the
firewall changes to be completed, but in the meanwhile, I thought we
could have a quick discussion on categories, platforms, and states,
all of which are configurable.
1. Categorization
Bugzilla has a three level system--classifications, products, and
components. One possible way to use these is to have two
classifications: Development and Released. Development then could
be use products for community groups/projects/consolidations and
leave the component space to those groups to use.
Released could either copy the current "solaris" categories--or
not, since I know some consolidations don't like the current
structure much. I would expect new categories in an open DTS to
identify their categories in the predecessor DTS, as a courtesy to
those crossing back and forth.
2. Platforms
The default fields are OS and Hardware. OS is { All, Windows, Mac
OS, Linux, Other }. It seems like adding OpenSolaris and Solaris
would be the minimum, but there might be other choices to make
here. (Like the host VM, possibly. Or is that hardware?)
Hardware defaults to { All, PC, Macintosh, Other }. This seems
unhelpful. I was playing around with { ANY/Generic, i86pc/i386,
i86pc/amd64, SPARC/sun4u, SPARC/sun4v, Other }. (I guess an
i86xpv field might be needed now.)
3. States
Bugzilla defines the bug states as { UNCONFIRMED, NEW, ASSIGNED,
REOPENED, RESOLVED, VERIFIED, CLOSED }. It is reasonably easy to
add new states, and to restrict which state transitions to and from
a new state are permitted. In current Bugster, we have useful
states where the problem is understood and where the fix is in
progress.
There are also substates for RESOLVED: { FIXED, INVALID, WONTFIX,
DUPLICATE, WORKSFORME, MOVED }. There's no equivalent to the
deferred/no resources available in the current Bugster.
Opinions on any and all of these are solicited.
Thanks
Stephen
