47925 - describe MOVED resolution in bug_status.html

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Documentation, defect, P2)

Description

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

The new MOVED resolution is not described at
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/bug_status.html

Suggested description:
MOVED
The bug was specific to a particular Mozilla-based distribution and didn't
affect mozilla.org code. The bug was moved to the bug database of the
distributor of the affected Mozilla derivative.

Taking bug.  Since this file is distributed for all bugzilla installations it's
not mozilla.org documentation specific.  Moving to webtools/bugzilla component.

moving to real milestones...

[Zach Lipton [:zach]]

david--what is your status on this?

Comment 4

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

This is not part of the Bugzilla administrator's documentation, but part of the
online user help.  Since David Krause hasn't touched this in 7 months, I'll
assume he's not taking care of it.  Moving to UI and reassigning to default
owner.

I'll take this one since I'm going to have to deal with it in my custom
resolutions work (bug #94534).

We are currently trying to wrap up Bugzilla 2.16.  We are now close enough to
release time that anything that wasn't already ranked at P1 isn't going to make
the cut.  Thus this is being retargetted at 2.18.  If you strongly disagree with
this retargetting, please comment, however, be aware that we only have about 2
weeks left to review and test anything at this point, and we intend to devote
this time to the remaining bugs that were designated as release blockers.

This isn't an enhancement request. The document aims to describe the resolutions
but one of them isn't described. Besides, fixing this would be really easy. All
it takes is just copy-pasting the text that has been sitting in the original
report text for over two years.

If the text should not be Mozilla-specific, here's a replacement:

MOVED
The bug was specific to a related product whose bugs are tracked in another bug
database. The bug has been moved to that database.

Moving this to documentation, which is better suited to it.

-> default owner

Attachment: trivial patch to document moved

This will rot if and when customized resolutions go in.
