Well Jeremy Has opened up the code for the AppDB so that helps
So Here is my thoughts at the moment.
The Problem of Integrateing these two databases is this.
1. when I am in the AppDB I would like a quick way to see all the bugs for this
app.
2. When am in Bugzilla I would like to have a quick way to see it has to say
about in the AppDB.
There is a URL Field in the Bugsilla database that is primarily used to point
to a place where you can download the app when the bug has the Keyword
Download. If we used this field to point to the Appdb then we have a link to
the app for the bug.
In the Appdb we can have a link that has a query to look for the url for this
app in the URL field in Bugzilla.
I have tried this out in theory using "The Bat: as an Example. In each of the
bugs in bugzilla I have entered the URL for the bat
http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=68 in the URL Field.
When I use this Query in the URL of this bug I get all the bugs for the bat.
The biggest problem with this solution is that the URL will need to be changed
for all the existing bugs which is no small task. The second problem is
maintaining new bugs as they come into Bugzilla.
The first problem can only be overcome with a lot of hard (Grunt) work. There
are just over 2100 bugs in bugzilla at this time, so if 21 people were to take
a hundred bugs each I think we could be done in a about a week.
The second problem can be overcome only if we can use the AppDB to be a
frontend for submissions to bugzilla. I see that there are is at least one
person (besides myself and Jerry) willing to put some work into the AppDB so I
have at least a hope of this flying.
