[gentoo-dev] bugstest.gentoo.org - public beta for the new Gentoo BugZilla - please test!
Hi everybody, Over in infra, some of us have been working hard (see also the recent anonymous CVS and SVN services), and we're now ready for public testing on another milestone... The shiny new bugstest.gentoo.org! We're opening it up for all testers as of this email. It is current up the 14th of November, so I would also like to encourage everybody searching for existing bugs to use it. It should scale much better than the existing BugZilla setup. This testing period will last for 2-4 weeks, depending on how stable the setup of bugstest turns out to be. Then we can hopefully roll out the new Bugzilla for production use in time for Christmas! Usage: 1. Point your browser at http://bugstest.gentoo.org 2. Continue as normal 3. When you find a problem, file a bug in the real bugzilla http://bugs.gentoo.org/, directed to infra, with 'bugstest' in the summary! Notable elements: - Newer version of Bugzilla from upstream. - Much more database horse-power. - Automatic failover between database machines. - A much better backup system - that shouldn't cause a major hiccup at night - 5 seconds of non-availability, and then 5-8 minutes of a slightly delay on one of the database machines. Misc Notes: - email is disabled, so nobody gets spammed by any attempted mass changes. - I suspect there might be one or two UTF8 problems lurking. Look on the main bugzilla for entries that use UTF8 in the summary and the comments, and compare them to the entries in bugstest. Thanks to kingtaco, myself, ramereth, solar, jforman and cshields for all playing a part of getting this together so far! -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 pgpe9hflqEjWj.pgp Description: PGP signature

Just a stupid question... Can bugzilla be configured so that when you open a new bug you are able to modify the reporter? This is useful when s developer wishes to open a new bug on behalf to a user who reported multiple issues, and allow him to manage it as if it was his.

[gentoo-dev] last rites for net-proxy/dansguardian-dgav
I've masked dgav and I will remove it from the tree in about a month. The new version of dansguardian (net-proxy/dansguardian-2.9) has a better anti-virus support hence making dgav hack obsolete. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

It can be annoying to get environment variables to emerge, particularly when you need sudo and you only want the environment variable some of the time. I think it would be better to solve the problem with sudo at its root: /etc/sudoers has the following: # Reset environment by default Defaultsenv_reset Commenting that out reverts this annoying behaviour and fixes all kinds of bugs. -- Kind Regards, Simon Stelling Gentoo/AMD64 Developer -- gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Zac It's just you ;) Marius Do you honestly prefer environment variables over command line options? I prefer command line options because they are part of a clearly defined interface. With environment variables, the interface may not be clearly defined and it's easy for variables to accidentally leak in, affecting internals in unexpected ways. Zac I prefer to have one way to do things, and the system for variables worked quite well so far. Adding CLI overrides on top of that seems not only redundant to me but also potentially confusing (which vars have CLI overrides? where in the incremental stack does the override fit in?). Add that to the already overloaded option system. Besides, if you need this feature on a somewhat regular base it seems easier to me to just export the var once instead of specifying the option on the command line all the time (ok, using DEFAULT_OPTS avoids that, but then you have the same issues you listed above). And last but not least a CLI option is bound to emerge, but this feature can also be useful for other tools. Checking an env var in the config class would enable it implicitly for all users of portage.py, without it everyone would have to basically duplicate the relevant code from emerge. I'm not generally against using CLI options for passing in arguments, but in this case I think it's wrong. Marius -- gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
