Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 75
Modification of field values needed
Last modified: 2007-09-24 00:20:30 UTC
Many values for fields in Issue Submission form make no sense for OpenOffice.org. As discussed earlier we would like to remove vlaues for Platform and OS.
This is doable. I'd estimate 4 hours time worst case, and as little as 15-30 minutes if theory that the following steps are all that need doing: (1) check for and reset affected values in existing dump of 'issues' db, (search for string-match in text-dump, then use sql to update affected rows, do not dump/delete/reload, since this is live :-) ). (2) then delete versioncache, (3) and perhaps re-run checkconfig.pl... (try without first and if things are horked, try again after running checkconfig.pl, then do #4). (4) re-browse/reload desired page in browser. I'm re-assigning this to bphipps, as he needs to determine what needs to be done and who to assign to perform this work, and with which priority.
I will formalize the technical requirements with Sun, verify the level of effort estimate, determine the priority and subsequently work with Chris to develop the required CollabNet staffing plan.
Stefan and/or Michael, Please specify which values you request to be removed in the drop down menus of both Platform and OS. Regarding Platform, I assume you would want to keep: All PC Sun but considering postings to the mailing lists, what about Macintosh and SGI? Any additional Platforms? Regarding OS, I assume you would want to keep: Linux Solaris Windows but do you also want resolution down to the version? Any additional OSs?
Michael, are you able to specify the needed values for Platform and OS?
Yes, I should be able to propose something. Will take me a few days, it's not my highest priority.
Completely understood ... please reassign to me after you specify the values. In the mean time, I will work with our resource manager to plan and schedule engineering support to implement the required changes to the Issuezilla configuration SQL database and/or Perl/CGI source code.
I'd leave the platforms as is, maybe one could add IBM, can't find that. For the operating system I have the following suggestions: to be removed: Windows3.1, SunOS (what's that?), all Mac versions, Solaris to be added: Mac OS X, Solaris 7, Solaris 8, LinuxPPC I guess for the moment this should be good enough. Any objections, comments?
reassigned

changing QA contact from bugs@ to issues@
I think this issue should be closed because of inaction--perhaps a "wontfix." -louis
I don't see that inaction is a reason for closing. From my point of view it's still a valid enhancement request, as described by Michael Bemmer.
Reassigning support@ issues to issues@www so louis can go through these.
Reassigning to support louis
I'll take a look at this.
Created an internal issue (PCN8265) and assigned to instantiations engineer.
queried our engineer on this again today
escalating internally so it will get some more attention.
Hi Stefan, I reopend the pcn8265 which was closed due to the assigned engineer feeling that the request is a one off customization. I reassigned this to our enhancement manager to see if we could consider this for an enhancement in a future release. I will update the issue from here when I hear back from our enhancement manager.

Hi Stefan, Here is the latest informaion on this issue. It is possible for the admin (project owner by default) to modify both the Platform and OS dropdown list entries for their project, as of SourceCast 2.0. OpenOffice will get this with their next upgrade. Eric
Hi, we would like to avoid, that we have to configure each project (IZ component) separatly. Most of them have the same requirements. So, is there a way to change the default for all projects or for new projects? Is there a way to change several projects at once? Thanks Stefan
Hi Stefan, I am checking with engineering again on your last update. I will let you know what happens from here. Eric
With Project Tracker (Scarab) you will be able to set the values for these across projects. Unfortunately with IssueZilla, I did not find a way to change the values for multiple projects at once. Thanks, Kristen
Closing this issue as fixed since we can change the default platforms for all projects now.
actually closing
fixed
close now
