- Subject: Delay in bugzilla switchover
In order to not accommodate the 3.3 release process (which is using
GNATS, of course) currently going on, and those involved in it, I'm
going to delay switching to Bugzilla until right after 3.3 is released
(where right after means "in the week after", not "in the year after".
:P). As the number of 3.3 pr's has been steadily decreasing, this will
hopefully be soon.
Just as an FYI for those wondering what's up.
I apologize for the delay for those chomping at the bit to use Bugzilla
(which includes me, of course), but after consulting with Mark and
involved in 3.3 release tracking (who are quite used to gnats, and are
using it all the time to monitor and keep an eye on 3.3 pr's), this is
the best thing to do in order to make sure we don't disrupt the release
process.
I would guess we can still do the first two phases, which includes
processing gnats email with the bugzilla scripts *in addition* to the
gnats scripts.
IE we just can't shut off gnat's handling of emails to gcc-gnats and
whatnot.
This might be messy, however, as has been pointed out, so i'll decide
whether to do this or not by looking at how people feel about it.
