230885 - Support config.cgi parsing in bugzilla-submit

Status: NEW

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

[Christian Reis]

In recent (> 2.17.4) versions of Bugzilla there is a complete config.cgi
file that can be parsed to check valid form values. This should be used
from bugzilla-submit instead of the crude string matching currently in
place.

BTW, this bug was posted from bugzilla-submit using the patch from bug 229998 :-)

Attachment: kiko_v1: parse config.cgi and validate fields.

This should only go in once 2.18 is released, or bugzilla-submit won't be
widely useful. The current version works fine even with bmo.

This bug has not been touched by its owner in over six months, even though it is
targeted to 2.20, for which the freeze is 10 days away. Unsetting the target
milestone, on the assumption that nobody is actually working on it or has any
plans to soon.

If you are the owner, and you plan to work on the bug, please give it a real
target milestone. If you are the owner, and you do *not* plan to work on it,
please reassign it to [e-mail] or a .bugs component owner. If you are
*anybody*, and you get this comment, and *you* plan to work on the bug, please
reassign it to yourself if you have the ability.

Does this patch still apply? And does bugzilla-submit still work correctly with Bugzilla 4.x?
