Bugzilla's JSON-RPC service doesn't return all details of products in 4.0; in 4.2 this is extended to include, for instance, the set of components you can file against, which is needed for clients to file bugs with. http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/api/Bugzilla/WebService/Product.html#get Would be nice to have. :)
4.2rc1 is out, might be time to consider testing. :) http://www.bugzilla.org/releases/4.2/
To labs!
Released yesterday! https://lpsolit.wordpress.com/2012/02/23/bugzilla-4-2-released/
Coooool
RT #2619
We are still on 4.0.6 but latest old stable and have fixed the recent XSS in May. Not quite 4.2 yet i know, but Debian dropped the package meanwhile: http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/bugzilla.html .. but hexmode and Faidon are on this, yay:) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=669643 so please stand by and it will be better than ever
Reset assignee per bug 37789
Other good things about Bugzilla 4.2: https://globau.wordpress.com/2012/07/13/bugzilla-4-2-whats-new-searching/ especially: "improved custom search builder the custom search builder on the advanced search tab has been improved; it’s now easier and quicker to construct queries."
well, better off to 4.2.2. the best so far.

Thanks for volunteering to package Bugzilla for Debian! Is that stalled, progressing, other? :-)
Faidon isn't really working on it -- he is just reviewing my work. I don't have time to work on this during the week and haven't had time in the past couple of weekends. I'll try to get something done this w/e and update the ticket.
For the Bugzilla 4.2 series (tested on a 4.2.1 installation), "FILTER url_quote", which is deprecated/no longer exists, needs to be swapped to "FILTER uri" in the following files, as per https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679096: http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/tools/bugzilla/bugzilla-4.0/template/en/custom/global/site-navigation.html.tmpl http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/tools/bugzilla/bugzilla-4.0/template/en/custom/global/search-links.html.tmpl http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/tools/bugzilla/bugzilla-4.0/template/en/custom/global/user-links.html.tmpl This is, of course, assuming that the files in SVN are the most up-to-date ones and actually used. Without that simple change on those three files, Bugzilla will die with an "internal error" and an error message similar to this: Template->process() failed twice. First error: undef error - url_quote: filter not found Second error: undef error - url_quote: filter not found
...and 4.4 will provide a better way to receive bugmail for any changes in a specific component by disclosing the default CC list of a component on describecomponents.cgi: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365705 If each component had an account like "product-component-all-bugs@foo.xyz" in its default CC list, people can add such accounts to their "User Watching" list on /userprefs.cgi?tab=email. This is my usual workaround as long as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278455 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76794 are not fixed. Now who could I bribe with a few drinks to upgrade WMF BZ? ;)
Ignore my last comment. (In reply to comment #13) > This is my usual workaround Just realized that https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634531 provides an extension for exactly this functionality, as described in bug 37105. Sigh.
4.2 release notes (incl. dependency version bumps and comments with regard to customization and extensions): http://www.bugzilla.org/releases/4.2.3/release-notes.html Our customizations (no idea if this is really up-to-date): http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/tools/bugzilla/ No official 4.2 Bugzilla packages are available for Ubuntu Precise, only from an untrusted archive: https://launchpad.net/~tamersaadeh/+archive/bugzilla
Note to myself: While upgrading (bugmail disabled): * Merge MW version numbers!, see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/editversions.cgi?product=MediaWiki&showbugcounts=1 * Check Target Milestones and keywords whether anything should be changed or removed
Meanwhile we run Bugzilla version 4.2.4 :)
