Hi.

Great idea.

Have you checked why bugzilla3 used to be in Debian, and got removed (see #638705).

I guess you'd better have to convince people that things will be improved with the new version, for the success of this ITP ;-)

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Thanks for  the info.  I was not aware of that.  I did wonder why it wasn't being packaged.

It looks like the main thing to  be addressed is finding a co-maintainer.

As discussed in private with Mark (he's a coworker), I will serve as his
comaintainer & sponsor for this package.

Moreover, I'm adding the security team to the loop, since bugzilla3 was
removed per their request.

We know that bugzilla has had a troubled history in Debian, so we'll be
careful. One area in particular that was problematic was a strained
relationship with upstream (aiui, the result of having an unmaintained
vulnerable package in Debian for some time); Mark has already been in
some contact with them.

If you still have reservations, feel free to raise them — before we
upload this (soonish) would work better :)

Thanks,
Faidon

objections against Bugzilla per se. The upstream security engineering
is done in a very professional manner.

The old package was removed because
- the old package was practically unmaintained (only activity every year or so). If
  there's now a full maintainer team, all the better.
- the old packaging was horrible (multiple tarballs mixed in a weird way and
  instead of patches everything was modified by a series of shell scripts
  run during build) and close to impossible to NMU in a sane way. If you
  start bugzilla4 packaging from scratch that should not be a problem.

Cheers,
        Moritz

Hi Mark,

I was curious if an upload was coming anytime soon?

Thanks,

I do have an initial pass at packaging this.  It simply handles
installation -- not upgrading.  I haven't touched it in a couple  of
weeks, but was planning to get back to work on it in the next few days.

I would love to get some testers for the package.  Are you volunteering?

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging bugzilla4. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of bugzilla4 back from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 18 months.

If you are still interested in packaging bugzilla4, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 669643 ITP: bugzilla4 -- web-based bug tracking system

 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <669643@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,

You have a new fax!
