Timwi's started on migrating still-open bug reports from the sourceforge tracker to our new Bugzilla at http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org
Bugzilla brings these amazing bug-reporting benefits:
* Easier to create a login than it is on Sourceforge * Easier to search for existing bugs * Less cluttered interface! (no advertisements every 3cm) * Bugmail notifications are less cluttered; it's easier to tell what's changed * URLs typed in comments are clickable * Wikilinks typed in comments are clickable (to Wikipedia wikis at least) * Easy links from Wikipedia pages to bug reports like this: [[bugzilla:19]]
To add a handy bugzilla interwiki to your own wiki: INSERT INTO interwiki(iw_prefix,iw_url) VALUES('bugzilla', 'http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=$1');
Sorry if there's some temporary pain in migration; if you've reported or are watching a bug you'll probably want to login to the new bugzilla and CC yourself to the new bug report. (You should get an e-mail notification from Sourceforge which includes the URL to the new report.)
You can read all bug report notifications (on both the SF tracker and bugzilla) by subscribing to the wikibugs-l mailing list at mail.wikipedia.org. (Fairly high traffic.)

This is great! I'd like to use your version of bugzilla for tracking bugs in my projects. Not only is the interface nice being able to link it into my wiki for bugs to my projects would be an extremely useful feature.
Would it be possible for me to download MediaZilla somehow?

The patch for doing wiki links is here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bugzilla_patches
Here's the adapted Monobook template that Timwi did (goes under the 'template' directory): http://download.wikimedia.org/bugzilla/mediazillatemplate.tar.gz
You'll probably want to tweak the templates. Other than that it's pretty much a stock Bugzilla 2.18rc2 install.

In what sense? Adding my own project names for example?

Uh-oh :) I've never played with Bugzilla but will try to install it. How does MediaZilla plug into Bugzilla? Is the a configuration script or file?
Thanks again!

At the least, yes. :)

It's just a template; untar it under bugzilla's 'templates' directory once you've installed it.

Which version of bugzilla are you running? I want to make sure to install the same.
I tried to find the info on MediaZilla but did see any notice of the Bugzilla version.
Thanks,

I know this isn't exactly MediaWiki related but any hints would be appreciated :)
I've installed bugzilla 2.18rc2 and have it up and running. Unfortunately I can't seem to get the adapted Monobook template that Timwi did to work.
I've untared it and put it in the templates dir:
$ls bugzilla/template/en/ custom default
custom is the mediazilla template folder.
I then re-ran checksetup.pl and it seems to like the template:
[snip] Removing existing compiled templates ... Precompiling templates ...
But when I go to the index.cgi page I get this error:
Bugzilla has suffered an internal error. Please save this page and send it to THE MAINTAINER HAS NOT YET BEEN SET with details of what you were doing at the time this message appeared.
URL: http://tkrndapd2:7777/b2/index.cgi
Template->process() failed twice. First error: file error - global/footer.html.tmpl: not found Second error: file error - global/footer.html.tmpl: not found
I've tried removing the original en directory and renaming custom to en but that didn't help :(

Just to let anyone interested know that I fixed the problem. I had untared the template on level too high. The tar file needs to be untared from the templates dir not *into* it ...
Oops.
Now the only thing is that the template doesn't layout well at all in any browser. The MediaZilla page layouts out fine so either I need to change some parameters or the template I am using and the one on MediaZilla are a bit different.
