</I>
There's no way in bugzilla to do this at the moment (there's talk
about this being implemented in bugzilla-4.0, which I haven't tried
before). Traditionally the Whiteboard field was used for such issues
(or separate reports were opened for each affected stable release).
Having a multi-line RPM Package wouldn't be the way to go with this
(IMHO).
>>><i> (In fact I think I want to solve the same problem you want to solve with
</I>>>><i> "with a whiteboard field to state if the bug affects more than one release
</I>>>><i> (at
</I>>>><i> least for now)"
</I>>>><i> but in a more specific manner).
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>>><i>
</I>>>>>><i> For the same reason, the way the rpms are mentioned should be
</I>>>>>><i> 'standardised',
</I>>>>>><i> as the search done by bugzilla can only be litteral.
</I>>>>>><i>
</I>>>>><i>
</I>>>>><i> Usually one doesn't only search in the RPM Package field; experience
</I>>>>><i> tell us that the affected package name will be mentioned many times in
</I>>>>><i> both the summary and the description.
</I>>>>><i>
</I>>>>><i> And if you want to search in the RPM Package field, bugzilla has many
</I>>>>><i> options to do so, look at the bottom of:
</I>>>>><i> <A HREF="https://qa.mandriva.com/query.cgi?format=advanced">https://qa.mandriva.com/query.cgi?format=advanced</A>
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> Yes; but I am trying to solve the connection with mageia-app-db.
</I>>>><i> With the xmlrpc interface it seems the search possibilities are more
</I>>>><i> limited :
</I>>>><i> (from
</I>>>><i> <A HREF="http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.6/en/html/api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html">http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.6/en/html/api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html</A>)
</I>>>><i> :
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> "
</I>>>><i> search
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i>    UNSTABLE
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i>    Description
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i>        Allows you to search for bugs based on particular criteria.
</I>>>><i>    Params
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i>        Unless otherwise specified in the description of a parameter,
</I>>>><i> bugs are returned if they match exactly the criteria you specify in
</I>>>><i> these parameters. That is, we don't match against substrings--if a bug
</I>>>><i> is in the "Widgets" product and you ask for bugs in the "Widg"
</I>>>><i> product, you won't get anything.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i>        Criteria are joined in a logical AND. That is, you will be
</I>>>><i> returned bugs that match all of the criteria, not bugs that match any
</I>>>><i> of the criteria.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i>        Each parameter can be either the type it says, or an array of
</I>>>><i> the types it says. If you pass an array, it means "Give me bugs with
</I>>>><i> any of these values." For example, if you wanted bugs that were in
</I>>>><i> either the "Foo" or "Bar" products, you'd pass:
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i>         product => ['Foo', 'Bar']
</I>>>><i> "
</I>>>><i>
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> I don't know about xmlrpc, but there's no one certain way to fill the
</I>>><i> 'RPM Package' field; ideally it should be packagename-version-release
</I>>><i> (e.g. kwrite-4.5.85-1mdv),
</I>><i>
</I>><i> That's what I proposed in another post.
</I>><i> If that were the standard, there would be no problem for mageia-app-db.
</I>><i>
</I>>><i> whatever search method you use, it has to
</I>>><i> be versatile enough to cope with the field content variations.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> To be clear : as indicated above,
</I>><i> the limitation is in what bugzilla offers through it's xmlrpc interface.
</I>><i> We should have to modify the bugzilla code if we wanted access to it's
</I>><i> 'advanced search'
</I>><i> through it's xmlrpc interface.
</I>><i>
</I>
Whatever. As long as that doesn't affect the workflow of the triage
team or bugzilla's performance in general, I don't really care
whichever way it get implemented :)
