CVS/Bugzilla Integration
Friday, April 9th, 2004UPDATED: Please check out version 2 of buglog at the end of this article. (added support for CVSWeb)
To begin, I dislike the term “integration” when talking about development tools. It has been abused by marketing drones (read:Rational) to the point of being nearly meaningless. My version control system is not “integrated” with my XML editor just because I save my documents in a repository. Similarly my sock is not integrated with my foot just because I pull it over my toes. But this is a losing battle, and this is closer to the real meaning of integration then most other examples. So I use the term here:
CVS/Bugzilla Integration (def): Automatically updating bugs in Bugzilla with commit log entries from CVS. Adding to a CVS commit log text along the lines of “bug #45, bug#46″ would append the log to the comments of bugs 45 and 46.
