276033 - Get rid of globals.pl

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 87411

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, enhancement)

Description

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

globals.pl needs to go, in favor of functions being inside of the Bugzilla::
modules.

I think this should happen in this fashion:

1) Make all functions in globals.pl use perl module code for their
implementation. For example, UserInGroup() would just call Bugzilla->user->groups().

  We need a separate bug for each function that needs to be eliminated this way.

  The same thing can be done for any variables that are in globals.pl -- they
can continue to exist, but be initialized from the modules, and have most of
their actual data probably moved to Bugzilla::Constants.

2) Change everything which used to use the globals.pl code to use the Bugzilla
module code directly.

  Step 2 is less critical, and can happen over time.

  So, feel free to file a bug for every function that needs to be moved out of
globals.pl, and make it block this bug. :-)

Is bug 87411 the same as bug, or does this bug block that one?

Yep.
