Description Jiri Skala 2011-06-08 11:08:30 UTC

Description of problem:
The Splinter is addition to Bugzilla that allows patch review. See here:

http://fishsoup.net/software/splinter/

There are more working groups that would like to have serious tool for making patch review. The tool have to be powerful and in most cases available outside of Red Hat. These demands are covered by Splinter and there is big additional advantage - BZ + Splinter are in according to term 'all in one'. This is not from marketing point of view but all above from technical point of view. :-)

The Splinter is available on Mozilla's web here:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Addons#Bugzilla_Extensions

and the same code is tested also for BZ-3.6. See here

Comment 1 Noura El hawary 2011-06-08 12:43:04 UTC

HI Jiri,

The Splinter add on is part of bugzilla 4.0, So there is a big chance we will be including it in the bugzilla 4.0 upgrade.

Cheers,
Noura

Comment 2 Jiri Skala 2011-06-08 12:54:09 UTC

Hi Noura,
thanks for info. Is there some time schedule for migration to BZ-4?

Cheers, Jiri

Comment 3 Noura El hawary 2011-06-22 10:49:24 UTC

Hi Jiri,

At this stage we don't really know when we will be migrating to BZ4.0.. but we are planning to do incremental updates to Redhat Bugzilla.

Cheers,
Noura

Doing to set this up on a Brisbane virtual host for internal testing.

The test server in comment #5 is well and truely gone (it went away last year). Since we have updated RHBZ to version 4.2, we would need to start again.

Could I ask for reconsidering this bug, please? Patch review is not useful for the internal RH purposes only, but there are tons of patches floating for the Fedora bugs and setting up proper gerrit repo for each package (actually for each patch) is too heavyweight. Encouraging code review by any means is always The Right Thing™ IMHO.

Comment 9 Jeff Fearn 🐞 2013-02-21 03:25:41 UTC

Resetting to NEW since this isn't be worked on ATM.

IMO we should not do this, there is already far too much load on our Bugzilla instance.

If someone wants to pony up the dosh to build a serious web and database cluster then we could realistically look at doing this.

Comment 13 Jason McDonald 2014-05-08 06:05:32 UTC

In the absence of the three items requested above, I'm closing this RFE for now.  Feel free to reopen if some or all of that information becomes available.

As an aside, I'm interested in how many projects/users routinely exchange and/or review patches directly in Red Hat Bugzilla rather than using external tools like gerrit and github.
