Hi guys and gals, Currently, gcc.gnu.org runs a custom version of bugzilla 2.18.
The main differences between our version and the regular 2.18 is that we removed some fields (operating system and something else) and added some fields (target triples). We've also modified the email handling code a bit. The db field changes were done because bugzilla had no support for custom fields at the time. 2.18 is no longer supported, so we don't get security fixes, etc. There are also significant speed and workflow improvements in the newer versions. It is time to upgrade. Nowadays, bugzilla 3.0+ has support for custom fields, and as part of upgrading our install, we should move to eliminate our schema changes in favor of using custom fields. Bugzilla 3.0's codebase is significantly different, and porting the other changes we have is not completely trivial. I no longer have the time to do all this work on my own. This is not really hard work, it mainly is writing small amounts of code and a lot of debugging/testing (I usually set up a mirror install with the gcc database on dberlin.org and play with the code there). If anyone who knows perl is willing to help port our custom changes to bugzilla to the 3.0+ codebase, or is willing to help write a converter from our current db to the bugzilla 3.0, please let me know. Thanks, Dan
