Bugzilla code...
by Aaron Sherman - Aug 28th 2001 06:37:01
Bugzilla is a great system, but is made up of some of the worst Perl code
I've ever seen. It's not modular. It uses techniques that would have made
Perl 4 blush for sharing global variables. There's just too much to know
where to start.
What I'm thinking of doing is re-writing the whole thing. It needs to use
CGI.pm. It also needs a lot of the code turned into modules.
Problem is, the database schema needs to be re-written too (no primary
keys on most tables, different names for the same value in multiple
places, etc), but that presents an upgrade nightmare. Perhaps it will
require a transition tool that just creates a new database with a new name
and copies your old data...
I say all of this, because I've just tried to write some simple tools on
top of bugzilla, and while I was able to, it was painful....

There is an effort underway to fix these problems, and several of them
have been recently. If you're planning on rewriting it, why not help out?
We'd welcome the assistance at cleaning it up. Discuss this on
netscape.public.mozilla.webtools or drop in on the #mozwebtools channel on
irc.mozilla.org.

This is far less true now than it ever was. The UI is templatised, and the
main CGIs were rewritten in the process for clarity and style. Bugzilla has
come a long way since this comment was posted.

Hosted BugZilla Application on public server
by Elian Carsenat - Dec 19th 2000 12:15:30
BugTracker.com hosts a bugzilla application, where you can configure your
own software project bug tracking, since 99. Try it out before installing
bugzilla. See the hosted bugzilla
and the
documentation
(note: if you need the _latest_ bugzilla features, then get the
software from mozilla.org)

Not any more, it seems :-) Host not found...

Outstanding!
by ZuperDee - May 24th 1999 23:39:00
I must say, I think Bugzilla is easily the BEST bug tracking system out
there. I know there are others like GNATS and Jitterbug, but IMHO,
Bugzilla beats them hands-down. Bugzilla is by far the most complete
system I've seen, and it easily beats GNATS and Jitterbug in terms of
ease-of-use.
