-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Evening Everyone,

Just a quick heads up to everyone http://bugzilla.kernel.org was taken
down for about an hour this evening to perform an upgrade that was
precipitated by a possible security vulnerability that we wanted to
squash quickly and avoid it going forward.

The code base has had a rather extensive upgrade, migrating custom
fields over to Bugzilla's 3.x custom field support, and dealing with
kernel.org specific changes.

Along with this upgrade http://bugzilla.kernel.org has moved onto the
kernel.org dynamic hosting machine, joining patchwork and our wikis on
this dedicated piece of hardware.

If you have any issues, problems, concerns, please don't hesitate to get
a hold of me, [email protected] and/or [email protected]

That has been needed for soooo long - thanks a lot.

Looks basically sound on a quick test. I've closed a lot of the bugs in
our bugzilla against our bugzilla as they are now fixed.

Only glitch so far is formatting (needed a shift-reload to clear the old
style sheet) but then still has problems because the version some people
enter is very very long and that field doesn't have a sensible width
forced in the list format.

There are some other things that need sorting once its settled - a lot of
the owner data and auto-assignment stuff is stale (eg reiser is still
assigned to namesys!) perhaps they should all be assigned to a mailing
list of the form bugzilla-category-subcat so that it becomes entirely
mailman "self service" ?

Yup, I'll try to finalize that conversion soon, we've been moving that way
for a long time.

One small misfeature in the new bugzilla is that you can no longer view
attachments directly in the browser. For text/plain stuff this is
particularly annoying. If it could be fixed I'd be a much happier
camper. :)

I think upstream bugzilla stopped this due to a potential security problem
with feeding things to the browser.

If we cannot trust the browser to safely handle most data, then I
suppose we'll all have to start using wget and browsing our pages via
less.

I hope this feature can be reconfigured, even if upstream happens to
think out browsers are too insecure to be on the net.

Hello,

Is there anyway to put the comment input area at the bottom of the
page? Trying to reply at the top just messes up my head in weird
ways.

Thanks.

PS:
Here is a 'me too' to Tejun's comment. Top-posting in bugzilla is OK if
one doesn't have to re-read the history of the bug because it's all
fresh in one's mind. This is almost only the case when one follows the
bug by mail --- but then one can also reply by mail and doesn't have a
problem with the web interface anyway. So, whenever one uses the web
interface of bugzilla.kernel.org, it is quite likely that one skims
through previous comments before adding a new one. Hence comment box
after existing comments makes much more sense, IMO. At least if
comments are shown in chronological order ( = site default).

Ok this change is in now. The additional comments section should be
below the comments now.
