417759 - Introduce Bugzilla and Kubla; ensure they get along.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Kubla, defect)

Description

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

Originally suggested in bug 416678, it would be nice to see some integration between Bugzilla and Kubla.  At a minimum, being about to tie bugs to certain files would be good.  If we're feeling adventurous, having Kubla use the Bugzilla API to make changes to bugs would be cool, but last I heard getting SVN to talk to Bugzilla was a pain, so I expect this to be similar.

Perhaps being able to flag certain files as pertaining to certain bugs would be a good way to sort the queue pages too.  This could fix the bug* about grouping files on queue pages logically instead of alphabetically.

* This was talked about in the .12 post-mortem and I was pretty sure I filed a bug, but I can't find it.  CCing abillings to see if he has the bug or, if not, what he thinks of this bug+file idea.

It's not that hard actually... IT has some things set up that use the API to open/close bugs.

We ran into some troubles in bug 405500 with usernames.  Anyway, that can be part 2 of this bug.

I talked to Alex on IRC a bit.  We're going to setup a tagging system for files.  If the tag happens to contain /bug .*/ (or something similar) we'll make it a hyperlink to bugzilla.

I think that will solve the grouping problem and hopefully bugzilla can provide a little accountability.  We can talk about API's after we see how this goes.

file tagging basics added in r10759

ignores file/tag removal for now.

next up, tag filters (i.e. recognizing bug 878989)

I just added a new file with a couple tags and after saving it the tags didn't show up in the stage queue.

Bug links are in (thanks Alex).  Due to bug 405500 we're not going to deal with additional interaction at this point.
