This README contains checklists for how we manage the Bugzilla
installation at https://bugzilla.lysator.liu.se/.
Upgrading Bugzilla
==================
The first few steps can be done on any computer with Git and
pristine-tar installed.
* Clone the repo we use to keep Bugzilla, and this repo that contains
supporting scripts:
git clone git@git.lysator.liu.se:lysator/bugzilla.git
git clone git@git.lysator.liu.se:lysator/bugzilla-maint.git
* Download the new version:
wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/webtools/bugzilla-4.4.6.tar.gz
* Import the pristine release:
cd bugzilla
../bugzilla-maint/import-upstream 4.4.6
* Check that the pristine-tar has managed to create a
reasonably-sized delta:
git checkout pristine-tar
ls -l
The delta for the new version should be similar in size to other
deltas of nearby versions.
* Merge the relese to the master branch.
git checkout master
git merge bugzilla-4.4.6
* Push all changes.
git push origin master
git push origin pristine-tar
git push origin release-4.4
git push origin bugzilla-4.4.6
And, now that the preparations are done, do the actual upgrade.
* Run this:
ssh bugzilla.lysator.liu.se
su
cd /var/www/bugzilla
git fetch
* Shut down bugzilla, as explained in
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/4.4/en/html/upgrade.html
* Run this:
git pull
./checksetup.pl
* Enable buzilla again.

Starting with Bugzilla 4.4.7, the distributed tar files include a .git directory. Needless to say, unpacking that on top of our own .git directory results in chaos (including a changed "git remote" URL for origin). Exlude the .git directory. The downside of this is that the pristine-tar diff file will be fairly large.
