The Old Monk

GitZilla version 1.9 is out. This is a RC for version 2.0, which comes after this gets some wider testing. If you're using it and have a problem, use the issues page at github.

New features and changes:

• User specific auth can now be mandatory, optional or denied altogether
• User specific auth can now work with a cookie file (no need to store passwords - a problem when you have single-sign-on or common passwords)
• Utility scripts to generate cookie files
• More auth options for custom hooks. You can now pass a callback for pybugz initialization and go wild with it.
• The update hook now checks for valid Bugzilla auth even if bug status checking is not enabled.

My old git-bugzilla integration scripts were more of a one-off attempt at some glue code and was very hackish. No wonder it accumulated bitrot.

So now, there's GitZilla! It's hosted on GitHub and there's a .deb available. Note that (for now at least), you would have to install the pybugz module separately, even if you install the GitZilla .deb.

Using GitZilla is extremely easy. You can get started by symlinking (or copying) a couple of files and creating a 4 line configuration file. (See the 'simple ready scripts' usage mode).
