Just wanted to send an update on the FreeDOS bugzilla, for those of you who use it.
You're probably already aware of the problem of sending email. That's why I put the warning in the big yellow box at <http://www.freedos.org/freedos/bugs/>. One of the admins of SourceForge gave me a hint that may work to get outbound email working, but it's sort of a hack and may break if SF changes their security model in future. Basically, it involves "queueing" the outbound email into a set of files, and having a cron job send them at regular intervals. It looks like it will work, but it's a matter of writing some stuff to support it. Also, I need to do an upgrade to our bugzilla. I'm hoping this will also fix the "multiple logins" issue that several people have complained about. (As best as I can guess, this started happening about 2-3 months ago? I know I didn't change anything on bugzilla after we put it into production, so I think an SF patch broke one of our libs.) I'm about to leave on a business trip for the rest of the week. When I get back from that, I have a few days back home, then I'm off to another business trip for another week. So I don't know that I'll be able to apply an upgrade or get any bugzilla mail fixes working for a few weeks yet. Actually, I've been thinking it might be easier/better to try to move our FreeDOS bug data into the SF Tracker system. Then FreeDOS developers (me) don't need to spend their time updating software on the web site, and can spend more time writing FreeDOS code. I already have a request open with the SF guys, requesting an import of our data. But they don't have a method to import bugzilla data into the SF Tracker, so they would need to write a program to do it. They keep telling me they're trying to find time to work on it, but it's been a while, so I don't know when we'll have such a thing. -jh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
