Fedora infrastructure depends on python-bugzilla in various ways: http://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/python-bugzilla/2012-June/000001.html Red Hat bugzilla originally had a totally custom API. Much of that is being dropped in 2013, API conversions outlined here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=822007 Externally facing RH bugzilla instance that doesn't send email and is refreshed periodically. This is what is used in the functional test suite: http://partner-bugzilla.redhat.com Some trackers in the wild to use for API testing: bugzilla.redhat.com bugzilla.mozilla.org bugzilla.kernel.org bugzilla.gnome.org bugs.freedesktop.org bugzilla.novell.com bugzilla.zimbra.com bugzilla.samba.org bugs.gentoo.org Upstream timeline ================= Here's a timeline of the evolution of the upstream bugzilla XMLRPC API: Bugzilla 2.*: No XMLRPC API that I can tell Bugzilla 3.0: http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.0/html/api/index.html Bug.legal_values Bug.get_bugs: returns: id, alias, summary, creation_time, last_change_time Bug.create Bugzilla.version Bugzilla.timezone Product.get_selectable_products Product.get_enterable_products Product.get_accessible_products Product.get_products User.login User.logout User.offer_account_by_email User.create Bugzilla 3.2: http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.2/en/html/api/ Bug: RENAME: get_bugs->get, get_bugs should still work Bug.add_comment Bugzilla.extensions Product: RENAME: get_products->get, get_products should still work Bugzilla 3.4: http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.4/en/html/api/ Bug.comments Bug.history Bug.search Bug.update_see_also Bugzilla.time Bugzilla: DEPRECATED: timezone, use time instead User.get Util.filter_fields Util.validate Bugzilla 3.6: http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.6/en/html/api/ Bug.attachments Bug.fields Bug: DEPRECATED: legal_values Bugzilla: timezone now always returns UTC+0000 Bugzilla 4.0: http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/4.0/en/html/api/ Bug.add_attachment Bug.update Util.filter_wants Bugzilla 4.2: http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/4.2/en/html/api/ Group.create Product.create Bugzilla 4.4: http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/4.4/en/html/api/ Bug.update_tags Bugzilla.parameters Bugzilla.last_audit_time Classification.get Group.update Product.update User.update Util.translate Util.params_to_objects Bugzilla 5.0: (July 2015) https://bugzilla.readthedocs.io/en/5.0/api/index.html Bug.update_attachment Bug.search/update_comment_tags Bug.search: search() now supports --from-url style, like rhbz before it search() now supports quicksearch Bug.update: update() alias is now a hash of add/remove/set, but has back compat update() can take 'flags' config now Component (new, or newly documented?)
