Bugzilla upgrade.

[Tom Albers]

Hi,

Our bugzilla instance is an old version. We are preparing to upgrade it to a recent version.

This will go in two stages. First we will perform a test upgrade. This will happen on Saturday Februari 25th. We will start at 8PM CET. We expect little inpact, though during the database conversion we expect the current bugzilla to be slower as usual. If this will becomes unworkable, we will close bugs.kde.org during this conversion.

If all goes well, we want to do the final conversion on Friday March 2nd. We will start at 8PM CET. During the conversion bugs.kde.org will be unavailable. We expect a downtime of a few hours. We will know more after the test.

All work will be coordinated via the #kde-sysadmin. If you want to test the new bugzilla before it goes live (/me waves at the dr.konqi developers) talk to us. Also when you have any other concerns or questions about the upgrade.

Best,

Tom Albers
KDE Sysadmin
ps. Any replies which include the word 'Redmine' will be ignored.

What version will the new bugzilla have? Are the REST/JSON/XMLRPC APIs going
to be enabled?

Bye and many thanks for giving our bug-pit some love!

We will likely be upgrading to the latest version of the 4.x series.
We have not deliberately disabled REST/JSON/XMLRPC in the past, and
will not do so with this update.

Make sure it's the 4.0.4 as it solves some issues with the perl packages related to JSON (versioning problems)

Keep in mind the JSON-RPC is marked as experimental by the bugzilla team (experimental as in they think the API won't change in the future although it still might). The stable api is the XML-RPC

And then maybe someone can revive kbugbuster.

Am I the only one that finds the new KDE bugzilla front end utterly
confusing ? All the conveient shortcuts in the front page that showed
things like weekly summary broken down by product are no longer
available. Will those things available in the old front page be
restored in the future or are they gone for good ?

No, me too.

I really miss them.

And to have the "Additional Comments" field above the BR and all comments is
like "tofu" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-posting#Top-posting)

The new front end / layout is really disturbing for my daily workflow looking
for all bugs related to documentation, i18n, l10n and reports I can quickly
check in master/branch/my distribution packages reported the last day..

I don't think so, I think it has some huge icons but I thought
it was my browsers problem, the huge header and footer
it's real hard to see the content on my small screen,
the new version fews snappier but the theme needs polishing
imo. I also renders the footer strange using Chrome,
but I hope someone is still working on this... :D

There is now a preference setting which lets you choose whether to display
the Additional Comments field at the top or the bottom.

Yes, the header fields waste a _lot_ of space. The old theme was far
better in that respect.

And the footer field tends to obscure the line I was searching for, at least in firefox.
