Hi all,
the fifth service on the migration list is Bugzilla. For the Bugzilla,
the situation is significantly different, because we need to discuss
here before any steps are taken.
-- Migration status --
Bugzilla is on Tim's original infrastructure. Therefore, no one else can
manage the current instance. And there are various issues that we are
currently unable to resolve, such as problem with login when https is
used. So it definitely needs some change.
-- What needs to be done --
First of all, we need to discuss and decide whether we want to continue
using Bugzilla.
As mentioned earlier, TGW is now used as a comprehensive workspace. And
TGW contains Issues that can be used instead of bug reports in a
separate Bugzilla. There are several benefits to using Issues. Above
all, Issues are well integrated into the development workflow. It also
provides good comfort - for example, it is possible to use comment
formatting to make it more readable and clear. At the same time, it
seems like a good idea to use one problem reporting tool rather than two
independent ones.
If we find a consensus that there is no significant reason to use
Bugzilla, we need to decide how to deal with existing bug reports. There
are two options:
1) Migrate Bugzilla to a new instance, which will be locked for adding
new bug reports. This can be done more easily. However, the problem
remains that there will continue to be two places for users to look for
problem reports.
2) Migrate bug reports from Bugzilla into Issues in TGW and then stop
Bugzilla completely. Although it is likely to be more difficult to do, I
think it would be a better solution.
-- More ideas and suggestions?
What is your opinion on Bugzilla migration?
Do you have any other ideas and suggestions?

Hi all,
thank you for your feedback. Since it has been a long time since opinions
and arguments have been made here, I will assume that we can decide.
The arguments for keeping Bugzilla made here do not seem convincing enough.
Therefore, according to proposal 2, the goal we will be heading towards
will be the full replacement of the Bugzilla by issues in TGW.
The whole process will take some time - from a change of integration to
report bugs in the applications to the migration of existing bug reports
to issues in TGW, so for some time there will still be a concurrence of
Bugzilla and issues in TGW. In any case, it is recommended to create
issues in TGW instead of bug reports in Bugzilla.
Cheers
