Build Identifier: revno: 647

Up to now testopia used to patch the Bugzilla sources to set the description of "view_testopia" user preference. Do this via a hook in Bugzilla 4.0
Just add a new hook template file, extensions/Testopia/template/en/default/hook/global/setting-descs-settings.none.tmpl containing:

[%
    setting_descs.view_testopia = "View the Testopia links",
%]


Reproducible: Always

Attachment: Set filesystem permissions via 'install_filesystem' hook

With the closing of bug 644334 it is possible to set the permission of tr_importxml.pl via an extension hook. Shaves another line from extensions/Testopia/patch-4.0

We shouldn't mix several bugs into a single one. But you are right about both changes. Testopia should use hooks as much as possible to avoid hacking the Bugzilla source code directly. You forgot to remove the corresponding code from patch-XXX though. I included them (before seeing this bug) in bug 743589.
