Motivation

CVS and Bugzilla are two very useful tools, but they are very difficult to integrate together. For instancce, when performing a CVS commit to fix a bug that is already recorded in Bugzilla, it would be helpful if there were a way for Bugzilla to record the commit message and patch with the history of the bug. Out of the box this isn't possible, but with the tools here you can configure the two to work together.

Files

CVSROOT/commit-email
Creates the outbound email with the commit message and patch.
CVSROOT/loginfo
Controls which modules in the repository use commit-email to send outbound email. Also lists the email address to which the commits and attached diffs will be sent.
CVSROOT/checkoutlist
Controls which files will be checked out into the CVSROOT directory on the server. It must include commit-email so that it will be available for loginfo to run.
CVSROOT/rcstemplate
The template file for a commit that is presented to the user when they do an interactive 'cvs commit'. It contains the BUG: and SUMMARY: lines that are parsed by commit-email.
bin/bugzilla-email
Program run by procmail when bugs@example.com receives mail from the commit. Uses Bugzilla::OO to interface with the database.
Bugzilla::OO
Complete object oriented re-implementation of the interface to the Bugzilla database. The existing one is less than well designed and doesn't have the simple sort of accessors that external modules need to use. Module Documentation, such as it is.
