             Bug #: 13746
           Summary: auto-annotate bugzilla from git commits
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: admin
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: roland@gnu.org
                CC: carlos@systemhalted.org, roland@gnu.org
    Classification: Unclassified


We used to have this under CVS, based on the [BZ #nnn] convention in ChangeLog
entries.  We should have it again for git.


Jim Meyering is the general expert in sourceware git setup, and may have
suggestions.  He is responsible for the current post-receive hook that
sends email, but that appears to be just a copy of a stock contrib script
distributed with git.

I looked at all the other projects' hooks/post-receive files and there
doesn't appear to be any that did anything interesting other than use the
same email-sending script we have now.

The old CVS setup was controlled by these lines in CVSROOT/loginfo:

# -T foo        distinguisher for tmp files
# -G glibc      bugzilla "product" field
# -m user@dom   email recipient
# -D domain     email domain sent from
# -U url        cvsweb url
# -C glibc      cvsweb ?cvsroot=<argument>
# -s %{sVv}     magic args
DEFAULT (/usr/sourceware/bin/log_accum_bugzillafied -T glibc -G glibc -C glibc
-D sourceware.org -U "http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/";; -m
glibc-cvs@sourceware.org -s %{sVv})

That script can be seen at:

Ian Taylor was the last person to touch it, but I don't know who is the
best person to ask about any details.  It appears to work by a combination
of looking at the local database backing bugzilla, and sending formulaic
email to <sourceware-bugzilla@sourceware.org> to make the posts.

I don't really even know any more who to talk to about the bugzilla setup
itself.  So I guess the best place for someone to start here would be to
ping both Jim and overseers@sourceware.org about where to go next.

For stock solutions, a quick search found http://www.theoldmonk.net/gitzilla/
but I have no idea whether that's compatible with the sourceware bugzilla
installation or if the maintainers of sourceware bugzilla would want it
installed, or if it can be easily configured to work with the conventions
we use.

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Addons#Integration_with_Source_Code_Management_utilities
points to a different thing, but via a link to a blog entry on a server
that says (in French) that the server is dead.
