Description of problem: i am missing bugzilla itself in fedora. with all the different hardware/os/applications/users/admins/... in our environment @ work and my environment @home bugzilla could be a solution to keep the overview of the problems and their solutions. i hope that you can understand what i mean with buggy users and buggy admins :-) in short words: it would be nice if bugzilla itself would be in future releases Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ ls bugzilla-2.16.4.tar.gz bugzilla-redhat-20031120.tar.gz How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. search bugzilla itself in fedora Actual results: nothing found Expected results: should be in fedora Additional info: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/index.cgi http://www.bugzilla.org/
Good idea. I assume the license is not a problem, since Mozilla has the same license. (I'm not an expert on licenses.) http://www.bugzilla.org/download.html#howtoget http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/ You chose component "httpd". Isn't "distribution" the general component for requesting additional software to be included in fc1? If that is correct, then I suggest you change the component to "distribution". Do you prefer the original bugzilla version, using mysql, or the version modified by redhat to use postgresql?
http -> distribution by jorton thanks. what about: redhat-version with additional support for mysql, but i bet that redhat prefers for several reasons (eg. license) psql.
Bugzilla really does sound like an 'Extras' sort of package, not part of the core os.
For who's wondering what Red Hat means by "Extras": http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/terminology.html
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs216/html/stepbystep.html I think there is more to package than just Bugzilla itself. Some needed packages are already in Core, like perl-DBD-MySQL (or perl-DBD-Pg) and perl-DBI. Should all the other packages go in Extras, or should some of them go in Core? Maybe some of these packages are already packaged elsewhere, and can easily be moved/copied to Extras or Core?

I personally can't see a real need for a bugzilla package in Fedora Core/Extras/... but I'm curious what's going on, now...
Closing as WONTFIX for now, on the supposition that it's better for Extras.
