Description Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2005-01-31 14:29:24 UTC
It would be nice to have a field that the user can provide a set of package atoms in, which could then be fed to eshowmaintainer to help wranglers deal with bugs faster.

Robin,

Could you provide some sort of example from another bugzilla to do this? At this point, I'm not going to be adding fields into the bugzilla install, that is a far-down-the-road priority to be honest. I want to get the new install installed first, since it has a ton of security fixes. Then I can handle feature enhancement requests.

Robin,

After thinking about this for a bit today...couldnt a hacky php or perl app be written which calls on packages.g.o to grab the package? Rather than integrating something totally into bugzilla.

Jeff:
basically all I'm looking for is a single text field that users can put the name(s) of the involved packages in.
eg a user with a problem between Amanda and Tar would put in
"=app-admin/amanda-2.3* =sys-apps/tar-1.5*"

Ahh, i see what you mean, thats a perfectly valid idea. I will dig deeper into how far I can customize bugzilla, and how much fu will be necessary to add a custom field into the db. But I make no promises on whether it gets into our upgrade initially.

This is just something that's going to be added later.
