512539 - Create multi-state flag for status1.9.2

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Samuel Sidler (old account; do not CC)]

Per the Platform meeting today, we want to create a multi-state flag to set status on the 1.9.2 branch.

We need this ASAP.

The values should be as follows:

  value         weight     settable by
  ---           100        anyone (DEFAULT)
  .unaffected   200        editbugs
  .wontfix      300        editbugs
  .beta1-fixed  600        editbugs
  .final-fixed  610        editbugs

(Eventually, after shipping, we'll add a 110 weight for "?", a 500-series for .1-fixed, etc. and a 400 weight for wanted. Currently we're using the "wanted1.9.2" flag to manage wanted requests on the 1.9.2 branch.)

I can get this for you by early Wednesday at the earliest.  We're still using a local hack for this, so it requires code changes in Bugzilla every time we add one, and I'm not going to have time to hack on it until later tonight.

It's now Friday evening. Where are we on this?

Done and deployed.

I also made the code on the back end much more generic.  Any future additions of status-* flags using this same product and permission combination will only require a one-line addition to 1 file instead of multiple changes to 6 (thus saving you much aggrevation and waiting next time).
