Starting from yesterday the SVN->Bugzilla robot is running on ASF
servers [1]. This will improve its reliabilty quite a bit, as power
outages, DNS changes, mandatory OS reboots, etc. won't interrupt the
service as much.
I'd like to point out that it depends on reliably parseable issue
references in the commit message summary, such as
#i123# one summary
#4321# another summary
#i5678 more of the same
#98765 still more
which were recognized. The logs showed that more styles such as
Fixed issue #1234: summary
i5678 - yet another summary
were used. I added support for these too, but I'd like to limit these
variations.
I don't know were the limit for such variations should be, but issue
references named in roman numerals or spelled out in some dialects are
out of scope ;-)
Thanks to the ASF infrastructure team for allowing the robot to run
inside the infrastructure and for their valuable advice. Special thanks
to Daniel Shahaf for his patience.
