Re: Considering adding a serial counter to bugs_activity

I pointed out at one point that id columns are needed for future large installations using mssql as without a primarykey you will rowscan, causing exceptionally heavy cost on relatively simple hookups .. Let alone a complex one.

That's something we're going to probably have to do anyway, in order to
have a Bugzilla::ChangeSet object. However, we want the id to be by
ChangeSet, not by each individual field change. There's a bug filed
about creating a bug_update table, which would probably just contain an
id and a date, and then the bugs_activity table could use that id by

Considering adding a serial counter to bugs_activity

2010-03-10T01:53:51Z

I have a requirement for a special-use Bugzilla to provide a complete record
of activity since some earlier point. It would be OK if this included
overlapping events that might be an artifact of using timestamps, but we'd
prefer to avoid overlap, of course.
My first thought is to add an activity_id to table bugs_activity which would

thanks :)
ok, i'll look at doing that.
it's more than just changing the field type, as i'll have to have two
password fields for each username, and there isn't the real-estate on that
screen for that.
ok
oops; i'll include the html docs for 3.4 now.
yes; if there's any errors you need to be able to read them :)

Congratulations Byron for the Windows installer; it's working great! :)
I just have a few comments:
- As mentioned by Dan last week-end, the password fields should not
display the root and bugs passwords in clear text. Maybe type=Password
would do it.
- You should remove ImageMagick from the installer. It takes 49Mb on the

i've uploaded a new nsis setup to

issues:
- fixed mysql configuration when using a non-standard port
- fixed scheduled tasks displaying the cmd window
- scheduled tasks removed when uninstalled

- the scheduled tasks pop up a black cmd.exe window every time they
run.
Uninstall works fine for everthing except the scheduled tasks. The black window still appears and disappears very quickly.

show_bug.cgi should provide separate form for adding comments

2010-03-06T20:07:00Z

Hi there,
recently I was monitoring a bug that was quite active... In order to get the
latest postings on this bug I refreshed the page regularly and added a new
comment when appropriate.
Then suddenly, a Mozilla member urged me not to always set the Component
field back to some other value...
I was quite baffled, because I didn't update any of the fields. I just added

Re: windows installer - eyeballs needed

Looks great! A few things I noticed, installing on Windows Vista Enterprise:
- the database password fields need some additional description. I
wasn't sure if I was "being asked for existing ones" or "setting new
ones".
- the password fields need masking. Very important especially
considering you're asking for a Windows account password. I think in

Byron-
I've got WinXP and will try it out. I've already got ActiveState Perl 5.1,
Apache 2.2, and MySQL 5.1 installed, so that might see what it does with
ports and paths.

the installer deploys and configures the applications to a point where
bugzilla is ready to run, including installation of the windows services
and addition of scheduled tasks (for collectstats, whining and creating a

Loggerhead is all better, now

2010-03-05T04:56:13Z

So, loggerhead (the web view of bzr.mozilla.org) was having some
trouble, as you probably know if you ever tried to use it. justdave just
now downgraded us to a stable release of loggerhead, and the annoying
"KeyError" problems are all gone now. Basically, the site works
reliably, now.
