24231 - GD/Chart:: Compatibility

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 15193

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect, P3)

Description

[Brandon Black]

The latest bugzilla doesn't work with the latest GD/Chart::.  GD has changed
such that only PNG (not GIF) images are created.  Chart:: stuff has changed to
work with the new GD.  Bugzilla 2.9 still tries to use the GIF methods that no
longer exist.

QuickFix:  Edit reports.cgi, and change both occurences of the string "gif" with
"png" (there should be exactly two), and everything works great.

I just noticed this is a semi-dupe of 15193.  The difference is that now there
is a newer version of Chart on CPAN, which supports PNGs.  So now bugzilla is
the only released component out of sync on this issue.

How is this different than bug 15193?  I think they both say that CPAN's GD
routine no longer supports GIFs.

It is a duplicate.  :)  The difference is that at the time of the original Bug,
GD was in PNG mode, but Chart::Base and Mozilla both were in GIF-mode... which
made a messy state of things....  Now all the perl stuff is synched up on PNG if
you grab the default latest cpan packages... so mozilla is the missing party...
I tried to change this to dupe, but I guess I'm not allowed.

You're allowed.  Just click on "Resolve bug, mark it as duplicate of bug #", and
type 15193 into the text field.

Go ahead.  I'll let you do it, just for the joy of it all... :-)
