Bugzilla package in need of help
|
|
| Jeroen van Wolffelaar 2004-10-19, 5:53 pm |
| Hi list,
It came to my attention that the 'bugzilla' Debian package is currently
not in Sarge, due to several RC bugs. Its maintainer seems to be busy,
and in order to get this package elegible for inclusion in Sarge,
uploads fixing those bugs are urgently needed. Note that currently there
is still a zero-day NMU policy regarding RC bugs, so every DD can help
with this package. If you decide to NMU, please do correctly follow the
NMU policy (see the Developers Reference for more information).
If you consider this package worthy of inclusion in Sarge (note that is
is in woody, so not shipping it in Sarge would be a regression, and
leaving users of the Debian bugzilla package in the cold), please lend a
hand. More than 1% of the popcon users actively use bugzilla at the
moment.
Thanks,
--Jeroen

I once made a package of 2.16.6 for internal use that fixes four of the
five release-critical bugs (26077{2,3,4}, 250638). 253841 isn't "serious"
IMO; it's not as convenient as it could be, but if 1% of all popcon users
use it actively it cannot be _that_ seriously broken. Bugzilla is a
complex package after all.
The 2.16.6 packages can be grabbed from http://www.tzi.de/~jmm/debian/
Cheers,
Moritz

Thank you for your work.
Since Moritz isn't a DD, anyone willing to NMU based on his work?
I checked the interdiff, and
- I did not verify that the new .orig.tar.gz is indeed genuine
- it should use NMU-type version numbering, and mention it's an NMU
- the new copyright file should be fixed to do have a newline at the end,
otherwise it looks okay
- the following duplicates the call to fix_www_data_perm for
/var/cache/bugzilla, and in addition, this change should be mentioned in the
changelog referring to a bugreport (I now cannot check the validitiy of this
change since I don't see why this is changed)

Otherwise, it looks okay to me, though I didn't test the package at all.

md5sums are identical with upstream's tarball, I just double checked.

I'm afraid I forgot why this was added (it's been roughly three months).
Judging from the code it looks like some left over test code and can be
removed.
Cheers,
Moritz

I'm looking into the package now. Stay tuned.
