Bugzilla's servers were once hosted at the OSUOSL underneath Mozilla's umbrella when Mozilla was hosted there. Their contribution to the open source world can't be overstated. If you can, please give them some support!

In case you're wondering why we haven't had any livestreams lately: bandwidth issues. I've had lots of network dropouts, and there's a new ISP setting up service in my neighborhood promising better throughput so I've kinda been stalling for them to get set up. Someday soon...

It's #GivingTuesday and what better time to give to #Bugzilla ? We have quite a ways to go to meet our goal of being able to hire a developer for the project to keep your updates coming faster, so won't you consider a recurring donation? Even a dollar or two per month would be fine because it all adds up. One time donations are accepted as well.

Adding together the responses from both X and Mastodon, morning and afternoon on weekdays tied, and almost nobody likes weekends. Which isn't really a surprise to me. Now to figure out what day of the week... Anyone have a preference? :-)

#Bugzilla Live Stream starting shortly - primarily office hours, but I'm going to attempt to tackle some bug triage while we're at it.

Today's live stream will be delayed until 3pm Eastern/1900 UTC because I can't physically be in two places at once.

Just a reminder to anyone who hacks on #Bugzilla : We had a release a couple weeks ago. That means the trees are now open for the first time in quite a while!!

If you've got something you've been itching to get fixed, or a patch already submitted that hasn't gotten attention, now is the time to poke it and get it moving again!

No live stream this week, it's been a busy offline week, need more time to recover.

Live on stream right now!

Everyone misses the "Landfill" demo server, so we're going to set it up again on stream, and you can follow along to learn how to install #Bugzilla !

In today's embarrassing followup to the recent #Bugzilla releases, the 5.3.3 tarball will not run out of the box due to a missing semicolon. After unpacking the tarball, cd into the bugzilla directory and run `git pull` to fix it.

Since this is a developer preview release, I'm not going to roll a new tarball. Developers should be able to figure out the above git command. 🙂

Turns out the 'master' branch is not running the test suite on commit (which would have caught that) like all of the other branches are.

I flubbed the news page link in the email I sent to the bugzilla-announce mailing list. The correct link is https://www.bugzilla.org/blog/

It's here!

Release of Bugzilla 5.2, 5.0.4.1, 4.4.14, 5.3.3, and 5.9.1

#Bugzilla tarballs are rolled, patches have been generated, FTP upload and website changes are staged and ready to upload, and now my problem is that I just can't type fast enough writing the release announcement. We're so close! Probably another hour just to be safe.

Going to have to delay the #Bugzilla release about an hour... I realized too late that I forgot to build the docs in the tarballs and hit dependency issues building the docs. New release time 1:00pm US Eastern time.

Releasing new #Bugzilla in 3 hours!
