Description of problem: I recently received an email notification about changes in a bug dependancy The content of the email was [quote] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=910269 Richard W.M. Jones <rjones> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Depends On| |998692 [/quote] While I could switch out of my email client and go to BZ web UI and open up bug '998692', it occurred to me that it would be quite nice if the BZ email notification could tell me a little more directly, ie include the bug title, product and component. Perhaps the notification could be structured like this: Depends On: [Add|Remove] BUGNUM [PRODUCT] [COMPONENT] TITLE [Add|Remove] BUGNUM [PRODUCT] [COMPONENT] TITLE [Add|Remove] BUGNUM [PRODUCT] [COMPONENT] TITLE [Add|Remove] BUGNUM [PRODUCT] [COMPONENT] TITLE .... So this bug I received above would have said: [quote] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=910269 Richard W.M. Jones <rjones> changed: Depends On Add: 998692 [Fedora] [libvirt] unsupported configuration: This QEMU doesn't support virtio scsi controller [code=67 domain=10] [/quote] This would provide the person viewing the email alert with enough info, that they can probably avoid having to switch to the web browser to look up the bug in most cases. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.4.0006 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add or remove one or more bugs from 'Depends' field 2. Wait for email alerts 3. Actual results: Email alert only tells you the bug number Expected results: Email alert tells you bug number, title, product & component Additional info:
If we did this, we would use the code that BMO uses. Currently they have hacked B/BugMail.pm and the template. We would do the same and then submit the changes upstream. Here is an example of the e-mail that is sent from BMO. For those with HTML e-mail enabled, the referenced bug doesn't contain the URL. Rather, the bug number is a link to the bug. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D569177 Byron Jones <glob> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blocks| |905948 Referenced Bugs: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=905948 [Bug 905948] under mod_perl, HTTP/200 is returned when etags match If-None-Match
That sounds like a reasonable way to address this from my POV.
This change is now live. If there are any issues, do not reopen this bug. Instead, you should create a new bug and reference this bug. -- simon
Made some minor changes from the upstream code.
