Re: [Bugzproxy-general] Search for bugs... active...

[Stephan E. <se...@ef...>]

Thank you for your statements.

Screen-scraping is not the way of choice, I guess! :)
Wouldn't do it either.

We're currently using bugzproxy for automated bug-sending in one of our products and we would
like it to look up if the bug already existed prior to creating a new one.

At this time, we just create new bug-entries as they happen regardless of duplicity.

This will do for some time. I hope the missing functionality will be available soon.


Thank's again,
Stevie

Sort of. At this stage, most developments on bugzproxy depends on changes in
bugzilla. AFAIK, we expose all the functionality, that Bugzilla exposes in
its WS API, which is quite clearly not enough to be truly useful.

Some of the contributors to bugzproxy, has created patches to Bugzilla, and
when they were finally accepted, has implemented support for the new
functionality in bugzproxy. This takes some time.

An approach ortogonal to that, would be to do screen-scraping or similar in
bugzproxy, on the stuff that is not exposed by the Bugzilla WS API. For now,
this road has not been taken.

And, again, sorry for the long answer, I am currently on leave, will be back
primo september.

Regards

Mads
