Bugzilla: How to get rss feed for error comments?

Question

I can see where to get the rss channel for BUG LIST, however I would like to receive rss updates for modifications of current errors, if possible.

Answer 1

What you ask for is the subject of this improvement bug:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256718

but no one is working on it.

My first guess is that the way to do this is to add a template somewhere like template/en/default/bug/show.atom.tmpl with what you need. Put it in custom or extension as needed.

If you are interested in working on it or helping someone with it, visit the #mozwebtools channel on irc.mozilla.org.

Answer 2

This is pretty high when searching through Google, so I'm adding a bit of advertising here:

Since Bugzilla still does not support this, I wrote a small web service that supports just that. You can find its source code here and a working copy here .

Answer 3

Not an ideal solution, but with a resolution of error # 255606 , Bugzilla now allows you to list all errors by running a search without criteria, and you can get the search results in Atom format using the link at the bottom of the list.

From the release notes for 4.2 :

Configuration: A new search_allow_no_criteria parameter has been search_allow_no_criteria (default: on), which allows administrators to ban requests without criteria. This is especially useful for large installations with several tens of thousands of errors in which returning all errors does not make sense and will have an impact on database performance.
