Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 100
Check the issuezilla source into CVS so it can be patched on
Last modified: 2003-12-06 14:52:34 UTC
The issuezilla code should be checked into CVS so that we can write patches against it and post the patches as attachments to bugs.
Source code for Issuezilla (CollabNet's enhancement of Bugzilla) is not currently publicly available. For your convenience, please find following the URL to Buzilla source code: http://www.mozilla.org/bugs/source.html
I have seen the code to issuezilla posted somewhere. Though I cannot find it any more. I still think that the source should be public, as this is an open source project, at the very least, the tools should be public too. Is there some reason why it cannot be open source? Other users of bugzilla that have modified their source have made it open (redhat, loki...) and some people choose to use it because of the benefits. As a bugzilla user myself, I would like to have the option of choosing the issue type for my installation and would like this available. Since I enjoy working on bugzilla and helping with that project, I would like to be able to contribute here when special cases come up that require more special features that help the openoffice community. I strongly urge you to reconsider this descision and to open the code.
fyi: the source to issuezilla is public; you can find it at http://sandbox.tigris.org/source/browse/sandbox/issuezilla/ it can also be accessed via anonymous cvs. the version which is in the head of the cvs tree assumes that you're using this as part of helm & associated tools. all of those tools are public; but if you're interested in doing this, you'll probably want to subscribe to dev@helm.tigris.org; if you want to look at the version of IZ which is in use on openoffice.org, i think ISSUEZILLA_BASELINE may be the tag you want. if you have add'l questions or patches which you'd like to contribute, you're welcome to join the mailing lists for these tools. ;-)
The source code for IssueZilla is publically available via CVS on tigris.org, as is the rest of the tigris project. Because we believe in open-source, of course IssueZilla has been publicly available since it was first setup on openoffice.org. See http://www.openoffice.org/www-discuss/current/msg00526.html which has a link to the IssueZilla patch residing at http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=18 IssueZilla is part of the tigris open-source hosting project The sources for tigris (aka SourceCast) are all checked in to CVS. However, the version of IssueZilla on the "TRUNK" will certainly not run standalone, and is a much greater departure from Bugzilla than IssueZilla currently used by openoffice.org. For example, SourceCast's IssueZilla features support for authentication and access control for private or close-sourced projects, as well as open-source ones. SourceCast's IssueZilla also features integrated authentication, allowing the same login/ password to be used for web-administration, CVS, and issue-tracking. If you want the more easy-to-integrate and closer to "standard" Bugzilla version of IssueZilla, (the version used for OpenOffice.org)... that version has been tagged in CVS. You may access it as : cvs -d ':pserver:guest@cvs.tigris.org:/cvs' login (password guest) cvs -d ':pserver:guest@cvs.tigris.org:/cvs' co -r ISSUEZILLA_OPENOFFICE \ sandbox/issuezilla To retrieve SourceCast (and it's integrated and much-changed issuezilla) cd /usr/local/ cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.tigris.org:/cvs login (password: guest) cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.tigris.org:/cvs co sandbox cd sandbox cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.tigris.org:/cvs co anzu eyebrowse helm joist ln -s /usr/local/sandbox /usr/local/tigris (And for further information on the various components checked out above: helm-dev-subscribe@tigris.org -- java admin interface and tool integration joist-dev-subscribe@tigris.org -- java platform eyebrowse-dev-subscribe... -- servlet based mail archiver anzu-dev-subscribe... -- java-based intfc to ezmlm/qmail/nntp ) For more info, see the associated websites helm.tigris.org, joist.tigris.org eyebrowse.tigris.org, anzu.tigris.org, etc.... There, that should be enough to get you started. :-) PS: please check out scarab.tigris.org, or upcoming issuezilla replacement...
