See bug 142862 for an example. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Post a bug about hostnames 2.

Hello?
Lack of interest.
Reopening. I apologize that this fell off my radar since I have been mainly focused on 2.18 BZ bugs trying to get it rolled out asap. Since the code bases are in most ways different, I have not given enough attention to older bugs. In my understanding, they are simple just using a HTTP POST mechanism to add the comments from their internal BZ. I would hope that in the future they will use the XMLRPC bugzilla.addComment method to do so which is cleaner. What part of the conversation in bug 142862 seems broken?
> What part of the conversation in > bug 142862 seems broken? All of it! Everything after my initial bug-opening comment has nothing to do with my bug :/
I sent an email to gjohnson.com to see if he could tell me why their bug associations are screwed up. Sorry for the inconvenience this is causing. Dave
Did you ever hear back?
