patch (*.diff), original/base files, edited files

On 2012-12-19 11:29 MEZ, I received an e-Mail by AKLAPPER asking me writing a patch for the RESOLVED LATER issue mentioned in Bug 42548. So I downloaded and installed Bugzilla (version 4.2.4) on IIS. This was a nightmare (especially perl since Windows also shipped with a perl version [but too old] and the latest release of “activeperl” didn't work for me) and took me 7 times longer than writing the patch.

In the 7z archive you'll receive the base/original files (.original.x), the updated files and unified diff (.diff). These diff files also contain the path to where you have to install them. Since I never worked on collaborative projects with "real" source code management, let me know if you need another format and how to achieve it using MS Windows.

Also too bad that Bugzilla is using YUI! and not jQuery. I decided using native JS-implementation and tested with IE8, FF17 and Opera 12.12, all on Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter.

To conclude my advanture: Bugzilla is not only ugly for users but also for administrators and those who want to write more complex JS. My apologies, Andre (sans accent aigu?).

Have some nice X-mas days.

Since when did any version of windows ship with any version of perl?

Hi Rainer,
thanks for the patch, however I just realized that Bugzilla version 4.2 supports disabling resolutions (new feature, yay!), so I've set it to not allow choosing LATER anymore.
Sorry for the hassle to make 4.2 run on your machine. :-/

I have no strong feelings hence no apologies needed.

> Have some nice X-mas days.

You too!
