Revision History
Revision v2.1120 December 2000Revised by: MPB
Converted the README, FAQ, and DATABASE information into + SGML docbook format.
Revision 2.11.106 March 2001Revised by: MPB
Took way too long to revise this for 2.12 release. Updated + FAQ to use qandaset tags instead of literallayout, cleaned + up administration section, added User Guide section, + miscellaneous FAQ updates and third-party integration + information. From this point on all new tags are lowercase + in preparation for the 2.13 release of the Guide in XML + format instead of SGML.
Revision 2.12.024 April 2001Revised by: MPB
Things fixed this release: Elaborated on queryhelp + interface, added FAQ regarding moving bugs from one keyword + to another, clarified possible problems with the Landfill + tutorial, fixed a boatload of typos and unclear sentence + structures. Incorporated the README into the UNIX + installation section, and changed the README to indicate the + deprecated status. Things I know need work: Used + "simplelist" a lot, where I should have used "procedure" to + tag things. Need to lowercase all tags to be XML compliant.
Revision 2.14.007 August 2001Revised by: MPB
Attempted to integrate relevant portions of the UNIX and + Windows installation instructions, moved some data from FAQ + to Install, removed references to README from text, added + Mac OS X install instructions, fixed a bunch + of tpyos (Mark Harig), linked text that referenced other + parts of the Guide, and nuked the old MySQL permissions + section.

This is the documentation for Bugzilla, the Mozilla + bug-tracking system. +

Bugzilla is an enterprise-class set of software utilities + that, when used together, power issue-tracking for hundreds of + organizations around the world, tracking millions of bugs. + While it is easy to use and quite flexible, it is very + difficult for a novice to install and maintain. Although we + have provided step-by-step directions, Bugzilla is not always + easy to get working. Please be sure the person responsible + for installing and maintaining this software is a qualified + professional on operating system upon which you install + Bugzilla. +
