Object v. bugzilla-type confusion ... any thoughts on it?
by Matej Cepl 25 Jul '10

25 Jul '10

Hi, so I am now in the stage, that I use default (aka trunk) for my daily work, so I have some time to think about some higher level stuff. Remaining exact tasks are all posted to the Tracker, so that whoever wants to look at them and send me a patch is more than welcome. First of all I have this confusion between type of bugzilla (i.e., URL we are currently on in Firefox) and type of bugzilla model we use (i.e., in lib/main.js around line 145). The idea is that types of objects used (i.e., MozillaBugzilla v. RHBugzillaPage v. whatever-else-somebody-writes; could we call them "models"?) should differentiate between the style of UI we want to have (more complicated my style v. much lighter Philipp's style) on whatever bugzilla we are. On the other hand scripts must distinguish between different bugzilla instances, because of differences between them (e.g., does b.m.o has XML-RPC method bugzilla.updateAttachMimeType for getting rid of all those application/octet-stream attachments?). Everything which could be at least theoretically useful for both models should go to their shared parent BZPage. This is the idea, but the problem is that I work almost exclusively on bugzilla.redhat.com (and bit of b.m.o but I cannot do much there) so I am afraid those two concepts got incredibly mixed together. I would really need somebody else to start using my code on b.m.o (or elsewhere) and hitting all those RH-centric warts. Possible option is announce the project on some lists where other bug triagers socialize to find more users. Andre, BTW, do you think that there is nothing here which could be useful on b.gnome.org?

So, I have a progress ... the scripts now load a page without crash and some parts seem to be working, also there is no jetpack-prototype function used in any parts which are actually used for something. I couldn't switch yet (I deadly need logger.js to be working), but we seem to be getting closer to that. And when I get there, I think the progress will be fast.

Status report
by Matej Cepl 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hi, as promised I am sending report about the current status of my bugzilla Jetpack scripts. The code is now available at http://hg.fedorahosted.org/hg/bugzilla-triage-scripts/ (Mercurial repository, in the end I have decided that when dealing with code related to Jetpack it is obnoxious to use git and I should rather stay with hg). There are two branches in this repository: a) Branch "prototype" contains production code which I currently use in my work; it uses Jetpack-prototype (currently version 0.8). From my point of view it is in the maintenance mode, but it is possible that integration with other bugzillas could be done on it, as it is currently the only code which actually works. b) Branch "default" contains currently non-functional code for new Jetpack-SDK. Currently the port is not complete and there are many exceptions thrown when it is started, but the most complicated (I think) part (inheritance of objects) is functional, and most of the supporting code is (I believe) done including unit tests. Jetpack-SDK is currently not complete and I had to write some parts which I hope will be provided by the framework (e.g., I have my primitive version of pageMods in main.js). Some pieces are missing (there is no equivalent of jetpack.storage.settings) and I don't think we have to rewrite them ourselves as it should be possible to develop script without them (and have configuration hardcoded in the code or .json file or anywhere else). This branch also contains HACKING file with the first attempt to write coding guidelines. Of course, patches are more than welcome (for anything including HACKING -- I have just recorded my current practice there, I am open to discussion about it). Trac for the project is at https://fedorahosted.org/bugzilla-triage-scripts/. That's it, I think. Any questions?
