Today I extended my Bugzilla gateway to support “products” in Bugzilla.

To my surprise, I found out that Bugzilla’s XML-RPC doesn’t return the associated “components” and “versions”.

The fix is quite simple:

+++ Bugzilla/WebService/Product.pm      Fri Aug 24 21:10:47 2007

                description => type('string')->value($_->description),

+               versions    => $_->versions
              }
         } @requested_accessible;

I’ll try to submit it to the Bugzilla’s bugzilla

But what’s really missing, is the ability to change bugs via the XML-RPC API, or for the very least – adding comments.
The current way of doing it via the mail gateway is a little bit ugly.

Update: It turns out that there’s a bug opened already: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385282
And this bug has a patch which allows appending comments to a bug.
