Hiatus

I have recently been assigned to a new project at work. This has limited the amount of time I am able to spend on Testopia and Bugzilla work while on the job. As I am also working on a masters degree part time, this limits my involvement outside of work. I have been keeping up with help requests and the like but have to take a hiatus on new development and bug fixes (unless those bugs impact our own installation) for a while. I continue to keep tabs on the incoming bugs and hope to have time soon to prioritize them. I also don't want to get too far behind the Bugzilla 3.4 branch so as to have the next version of Testopia ready in time for that release. In the meantime, I do have time to do reviews on patches and I welcome any and all who wish to tackle outstanding bugs or enhancements.

So in case you were wondering... I'm not dead yet.
I think I'll go for a walk.

Thanks for the update. I figured I'd let you know that, at the very least, your blog is watched. :)

Hi Greg, Just so you know: We love and do use Testopia and appreciate all the hard work you have put into it.

We have been using Bugzilla 3.0.5 with Testopia 2.1. I have been waiting to update due to the warnings, but guess the hiatus means I should risk upgrading to Bugzilla 3.2.3 & Testopia 2.2. I assume that combination should work.

Just out of curiosity, to what project have you been assigned?

Glad to hear it is being useful.

I guess I failed to post that there is now a script for cleaning out the unsigned fields. You can get it from the CVS tip under the contrib directory. it is called fix_unsigned.pl and it should be run from the contrib directory.
Once you have run it, you should run checksetup again.

I haven't tested it on a pre Bugzilla 3.2 database but I know it works after upgrading.

The project I am working on is just an internal project. It is scheduled to finish up around the end of May.

I've just installed 2.2 on bz 3.2 on Debian lenny.
Testopia is a wonderful thing and imho, more important than bz. What point is a list of bugs without a structured test plan and cases?

Can you please fix this up and make Bugzilla an add-on for Testopia.

Thanks!
