Description Mik Kersten CLA 2005-10-26 12:19:41 EDT
This will be the simplest way of sharing contexts for the purpose of pair programming,
and will support retrieving contexts when reopening reports that were owned by another
programmer.
Comment 1 Mik Kersten CLA 2005-11-23 12:24:18 EST
Probably won't make it into 0.4.4.
Comment 2 Robert Elves CLA 2006-03-24 17:02:24 EST
Context attachments are nearing completion. Still some outstanding ui issues and of course this capability raises issues regarding what to do about multiple contexts for a single task (currently just overwriting existing context).

Redo of previous patch.

Last patch may not have included an updated build.properties file.

The updated httpclient 3.0

Should just need to replace the old version (in mylar.monitor) with this one and put it and the other commons jars (already in mylar.monitor) in the bugzilla.core lib directory.
Comment 6 Mik Kersten CLA 2006-04-04 15:16:03 EDT
Putting this off from being released until until 0.5.1.  It is mostly working, but the UI still needs some streamlining and we haven't used it enough ourselves yet.  It also seems that we need context preview and merge with it because the case of both a server and local context is so common:

Comment 7 Robert Elves CLA 2006-04-27 14:03:59 EDT
Perhaps this should be a separate bug report but we need to be able to 'retrieve' context from another task in the task list, this capability could simply be added to the retrieve context dialog.
Comment 8 Mik Kersten CLA 2006-04-27 19:16:12 EDT
Context copy/paste (bug 126237) will handle that use case.
Comment 9 Mik Kersten CLA 2006-04-27 22:17:02 EDT
Need to support sorting multiple context attached on same day (just add times to table?).
Comment 10 Mik Kersten CLA 2006-04-28 18:08:11 EDT
Marked (Experimental) until we iron out any remaining nits.
