It seems the old Bugzilla page is now down. Can we somehow secure a dump of this bug database before it disappears completely?
As mentioned before, comments in the NetBeans source code frequently references old bugs that have relevant discussion threads on Bugzilla. There are also many bugs there that people (including myself) have reported in past years, and which we might want to open in JIRA if they resurface in the latest Apache NetBeans versions. We need the old issue descriptions (and comment threads) for that. Having access to the old bug reports is important for the future maintainability of the codebase--even if we don't consider any of the old bugs to be formally "open". (For example, I was just now responding to the email with the subject "MissingResourceException", wanting to link to an old bugzilla issue which I believe describes the problem. But then bugzilla was down.) -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: Ludovic HOCHET <lhoc...@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, October 21, 2019 5:10 PM To: dev@netbeans.apache.org Subject: Re: Future of old NetBeans bug tracker I'll +1 on keeping a read only instance of the old Bugzilla (on Apache infra if possible). I've started to have a look at MavenCommandLineExecutor (NETBEANS-3254) and there are many issue references that may be helpful to look up.
