[GNC-dev] Bugzilla Migration Status Update (2018-05-24)

[Derek Atkins]

Hi all,

Just another Bugzilla migration update.

tl;dr:  DB was blown away again; Multiple products have been split and
        bugs have been migrated to them.  User/group permissions have
        been updated. Please take a look and let me know your thoughts.

First, yes, I blew away the DB again.  If you had reset your password
before, I'm sorry, you'll need to do it again.  Note that this will
happen again at the final migration, too.

Some of the major changes this time around:

- I created three additional products: Website, Documentation, and
  Packaging.

- Each of these products has at least one but often time more-than-one
  component.  These new components inherit the settings of the original.

- I tried to file bugs appropriately into the new components.  This was
  done using heuristics to look for certain key words or phrases in the
  bugs of the original component and split them apart into the new
  ones.  Please take a look.  If you find issues please let me know and
  I can try to adjust my heuristics for the final migration.

- I've added a GnuCash_developers group with appropriate permissions on
  all the groups, and I've taken everyone who was listed as a GnuCash
  developer from GnomeBZ and added them to GnuCash_developers with both
  Membership and Bless permissions (which means any dev can add new
  devs).  I did not check to see if this was the case previously.

- I've removed the TestProduct.

KNOWN ISSUES:

- BUG CREATION DOES NOT WORK.  I know it wont work, so please don't test
  it.  It will just create a broken remnant in the database and you'll
  just receive an error in the process.  This is unfortunately due to
  required code-changes to make the migration work properly.

- Some of the old pages from GnomeBZ don't exist.  For example, the
  /page.cgi?id=browse.html page does not exist (which is where you get
  to from the Browse link in the header). I am pretty sure this was a
  GnomeBZ customization.  I can look at installing it -- but if you have
  a pointer to it that would help.

- I still am not properly dealing with the attachment status.

WHAT I'D LIKE FROM YOU:

- Please take a look at how I refiled the bugs into the various
  products/components.  If you see issues with them, please let me
  know.  Pointing me to a bug# and where it should be would be useful.

- Take a look at configuration issues -- what did GnomeBZ have that we
  don't (or vice versa).  What config changes do I need to make?  What
  GnomeBZ extensions do you really want me to find/install?

Thanks!
