This document was started on September 17, 2000 by Matthew P. + Barnson after a great deal of procrastination updating the + Bugzilla FAQ, which I left untouched for nearly half a year. + After numerous complete rewrites and reformatting, it is the + document you see today. +
Despite the lack of updates, Bugzilla is simply the best piece + of bug-tracking software the world has ever seen. This document + is intended to be the comprehensive guide to the installation, + administration, maintenance, and use of the Bugzilla + bug-tracking system. +
This release of the Bugzilla Guide is the + 2.14.0 release. It is so named that it + may match the current version of Bugzilla. The numbering + tradition stems from that used for many free software projects, + in which even-numbered point releases (1.2, + 1.14, etc.) are considered "stable releases", intended for + public consumption; on the other hand, + odd-numbered point releases (1.3, 2.09, + etc.) are considered unstable development + releases intended for advanced users, systems administrators, + developers, and those who enjoy a lot of pain. +
Newer revisions of the Bugzilla Guide follow the numbering + conventions of the main-tree Bugzilla releases, available at + http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bugzilla. Intermediate releases will have + a minor revision number following a period. The current version + of Bugzilla, as of this writing (August 10, 2001) is 2.14; if + something were seriously wrong with that edition of the Guide, + subsequent releases would receive an additional dotted-decimal + digit to indicate the update (2.14.0.1, 2.14.0.2, etc.). + Got it? Good. +
I wrote this in response to the enormous demand for decent + Bugzilla documentation. I have incorporated instructions from + the Bugzilla README, Frequently Asked Questions, Database Schema + Document, and various mailing lists to create it. Chances are, + there are glaring errors in this documentation; please contact + <barnboy@NOSPAM.trilobyte.net> to correct them. +
