Description
Eugene Kuleshov
Interesting--if they extended Bugzilla to do this I hope they contribute that back. I recall seeing someone else had taken over the plug-in... do you have a web link you can point me at? We should probably touch base with them. All I have is that reference... To be considered while completing bug# 136219. Fixed. Eugene, this appears to be fixed with the latest dev build (which includes the xml/rdf conversion). Please let me know if you find any problems with bug submission and we'll re-open. I've been holding off implementing a custom connector for Red Hat bugzilla because they're apparently moving to a stock upstream 3.0 release "soon". However, this is taking longer than I expected, so I'd like to take a stab at this. The first issue I'm seeing is that RHBZ puts the bug description as a comment. Adding subsequent comments returns a mid-air collision. I'm going to investigate but any pointers to documentation, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Andrew: at this point you're probably best off looking to the Bugzilla connector code rather than documentation, because you're in the land of connector internals. We would be happy to support the mode where the bug description is a comment because we have been considering a mode where bug descriptions become an editable field. So we would be happy to take a patch that makes the current Bugzilla connector handle the RHBZ comment/description scenario. Created attachment 105758 [details] Output from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452713 If I add the following line in SaxMultiBugReportContentHandler.endElement: System.out.println(localName + " - " + parsedText); I get output that looks different for a simple bug (no comments) from Red Hat bugzilla and bugs.eclipseorg. I'll attach the output from Red Hat bugzilla first and eclipse.org second.

I believe that this the soon is really soon (in a month or so). See the URL I posted to the RH bugzilla.

Andrew, this error can occur if longdesclength isn't set when submitting (it needs to be set to the number of comments + 1 for description). Eclipse.org also includes the description as comment#0 in the xml. With soon-to-be released Fedora 11 connection to bugzilla.redhat.com more or less works with some remaining bugs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501119 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484469 I am not sure whether it is better to wait with this bug until those bugs are resolved.

Let's close this and work on the specific bugs. |
