521959 - Patch bug XML output to support API

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

The XML form of a bug does not provide quite enough information for the API, and so a small patch is needed. This patch is being pushed upstream to Bugzilla in bug 521398, but I would like to get it on bugzilla-stage-tip (and therefore b.m.o.) as well. 

The patch is required for flag modification, adding comments when updating bugs, and collision detection on attachment update.

This is a blocker to releasing version 0.2 of the API for testing.

I've just realised that the above is insufficiently clear - sorry about that.

Every Bugzilla against which people wish to use the API needs patching. And so could the patch please be applied to bugzilla-stage-tip _and_ b.m.o. even before the upgrade?

Many thanks,

Gerv

I think the upstream patch should first pass review. I will review it soon, probably tomorrow.

I agree that the patch should be reviewed by upstream before landing on bmo.

Upstream looks like it passed.
