>      Red Hat Bugzilla is probably the most popular Bugzilla variant, aside from Mozilla Bugzilla,
      on the planet.
      One of the major benefits of Red Hat Bugzilla is the ability to work with Oracle as a
      database, as well as MySQL.
      Here's what Dave Lawrence had to say about the status of Red Hat Bugzilla,

>	&nbsp;&nbsp;Hello.&nbsp;I&nbsp;apologize&nbsp;that&nbsp;I&nbsp;am&nbsp;getting&nbsp;back&nbsp;to&nbsp;you&nbsp;so&nbsp;late.&nbsp;It&nbsp;has&nbsp;been&nbsp;difficult&nbsp;to&nbsp;keep<br>
up&nbsp;with&nbsp;email&nbsp;this&nbsp;past&nbsp;week.&nbsp;I&nbsp;have&nbsp;checked&nbsp;out&nbsp;your&nbsp;updated&nbsp;documentation&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;will<br>
have&nbsp;to&nbsp;say&nbsp;very&nbsp;good&nbsp;work.&nbsp;A&nbsp;few&nbsp;notes&nbsp;and&nbsp;additions&nbsp;as&nbsp;follows.<br>
<br>
(ed:&nbsp;from&nbsp;the&nbsp;FAQ)<br>
&#62;For&nbsp;the&nbsp;record,&nbsp;we&nbsp;are&nbsp;not&nbsp;using&nbsp;any&nbsp;template&nbsp;type&nbsp;implementation&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;cosmetic&nbsp;changes&nbsp;<br>
&#62;maded&nbsp;to&nbsp;Bugzilla.&nbsp;It&nbsp;is&nbsp;just&nbsp;alot&nbsp;of&nbsp;html&nbsp;changes&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;code&nbsp;itself.&nbsp;I&nbsp;admit&nbsp;I&nbsp;may&nbsp;have&nbsp;<br>
&#62;gotten&nbsp;a&nbsp;little&nbsp;carried&nbsp;away&nbsp;with&nbsp;it&nbsp;but&nbsp;the&nbsp;corporate&nbsp;types&nbsp;asked&nbsp;for&nbsp;a&nbsp;more&nbsp;standardized&nbsp;<br>
&#62;interface&nbsp;to&nbsp;match&nbsp;up&nbsp;with&nbsp;other&nbsp;projects&nbsp;relating&nbsp;to&nbsp;Red&nbsp;Hat&nbsp;web&nbsp;sites.&nbsp;A&nbsp;lot&nbsp;of&nbsp;other&nbsp;web&nbsp;<br>
&#62;based&nbsp;internal&nbsp;tools&nbsp;I&nbsp;am&nbsp;working&nbsp;on&nbsp;also&nbsp;look&nbsp;like&nbsp;Bugzilla.&nbsp;<br>
<br>
<br>
This&nbsp;should&nbsp;probably&nbsp;be&nbsp;changed&nbsp;since&nbsp;we&nbsp;are&nbsp;now&nbsp;in&nbsp;fact&nbsp;using&nbsp;Text::Template&nbsp;for&nbsp;most<br>
of&nbsp;the&nbsp;html&nbsp;rendering.&nbsp;You&nbsp;actually&nbsp;state&nbsp;this&nbsp;later&nbsp;in&nbsp;your&nbsp;numbered&nbsp;list.<br>
<br>
Also&nbsp;number&nbsp;6&nbsp;contradicts&nbsp;number&nbsp;8&nbsp;where&nbsp;number&nbsp;6&nbsp;would&nbsp;be&nbsp;the&nbsp;most&nbsp;up&nbsp;to&nbsp;date&nbsp;status<br>
on&nbsp;the&nbsp;Oracle&nbsp;port.<br>
<br>
Additional&nbsp;Information:<br>
-----------------------------<br>
1.&nbsp;Comments&nbsp;are&nbsp;now&nbsp;stored&nbsp;in&nbsp;varchar&nbsp;fields&nbsp;of&nbsp;4k&nbsp;in&nbsp;size&nbsp;each.&nbsp;If&nbsp;the&nbsp;comment&nbsp;is&nbsp;more<br>
than&nbsp;4k&nbsp;it&nbsp;is&nbsp;broken&nbsp;up&nbsp;into&nbsp;chunks&nbsp;and&nbsp;given&nbsp;a&nbsp;sort&nbsp;number&nbsp;so&nbsp;each&nbsp;comment&nbsp;can&nbsp;be&nbsp;re<br>
assembled&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;correct&nbsp;order.&nbsp;This&nbsp;was&nbsp;done&nbsp;because&nbsp;originally&nbsp;I&nbsp;was&nbsp;storing&nbsp;the&nbsp;comments<br>
in&nbsp;a&nbsp;long&nbsp;datatype&nbsp;which&nbsp;unfortunately&nbsp;cannot&nbsp;be&nbsp;indexed&nbsp;or&nbsp;joined&nbsp;with&nbsp;another&nbsp;table.&nbsp;This<br>
cause&nbsp;the&nbsp;search&nbsp;of&nbsp;text&nbsp;within&nbsp;the&nbsp;long&nbsp;description&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;disabled&nbsp;for&nbsp;a&nbsp;long&nbsp;time.&nbsp;That<br>
is&nbsp;now&nbsp;working&nbsp;and&nbsp;is&nbsp;nto&nbsp;showing&nbsp;any&nbsp;noticeble&nbsp;performance&nbsp;hit&nbsp;that&nbsp;I&nbsp;can&nbsp;tell.&nbsp;<br>
<br>
2.&nbsp;Work&nbsp;is&nbsp;being&nbsp;started&nbsp;on&nbsp;internationalizing&nbsp;the&nbsp;Bugzilla&nbsp;source&nbsp;we&nbsp;have&nbsp;to&nbsp;allow&nbsp;our<br>
Japanese&nbsp;customers&nbsp;to&nbsp;enter&nbsp;bug&nbsp;reports&nbsp;into&nbsp;a&nbsp;single&nbsp;bugzilla&nbsp;system.&nbsp;This&nbsp;will&nbsp;probably<br>
be&nbsp;done&nbsp;by&nbsp;using&nbsp;the&nbsp;nvarchar&nbsp;data&nbsp;types&nbsp;supported&nbsp;by&nbsp;Oracle&nbsp;which&nbsp;allows&nbsp;storage&nbsp;of<br>
double&nbsp;byte&nbsp;characters&nbsp;and&nbsp;also&nbsp;the&nbsp;use&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;Accept-Language&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;http&nbsp;header&nbsp;for&nbsp;<br>
detection&nbsp;by&nbsp;Bugilla&nbsp;of&nbsp;which&nbsp;language&nbsp;to&nbsp;render.<br>
<br>
3.&nbsp;Of&nbsp;course&nbsp;even&nbsp;more&nbsp;cosmetic&nbsp;changes.&nbsp;It&nbsp;is&nbsp;difficult&nbsp;to&nbsp;keep&nbsp;up&nbsp;with&nbsp;the&nbsp;ever&nbsp;<br>
changing&nbsp;faces&nbsp;of&nbsp;www.redhat.com.<br>
<br>
4.&nbsp;Some&nbsp;convenience&nbsp;enhancements&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;administration&nbsp;utilities.&nbsp;And&nbsp;more&nbsp;integration<br>
with&nbsp;other&nbsp;internal/external&nbsp;Red&nbsp;Hat&nbsp;web&nbsp;sites.<br>
<br>
I&nbsp;hope&nbsp;this&nbsp;information&nbsp;may&nbsp;prove&nbsp;helpful&nbsp;for&nbsp;your&nbsp;documentation.&nbsp;Please&nbsp;contact<br>
me&nbsp;if&nbsp;you&nbsp;have&nbsp;any&nbsp;more&nbsp;question&nbsp;or&nbsp;I&nbsp;can&nbsp;do&nbsp;anything&nbsp;else.<br>
