Hi Folks: I just realized that when Helgi changed pearweb's bug interface to use the new package_name column instead of the bug_type to store package names, he didn't change peclweb's interface, which uses bug_type for the package name. Then, he started reusing the bug_type column to distinguish "Bug" vs "Feature/Change Requests." So, now we have a mess. The quick fix is search/replace all files in the peclweb to change "bug_type" to "package_name." Once that's done, update the database, because reports added/updated since Helgi's change have their package names in the bug_type field. Another possiblity, or long term plan, for the peclweb folks is to port the pearweb bug system over to peclweb. Helgi and I have significantly cleaned up and enhanced PEAR's bug system and these changes can benefit PECL developers and users. --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
