Hi everyone!

A final update on the status of our FreeDOS Bugzilla archive. Last
week, I reported that I'd started work to create an html archive of
our old FreeDOS Bugzilla. I've now finished archiving all the bugs (we
had only 530 bugs in the database) and all the attachments. There's a
simple view into the archive at:

http://www.freedos.org/bugzilla/

..which redirects immediately to:
http://www.freedos.org/bugzilla/cgi-bin/report.cgi


All but 2 of the bugs exported successfully to html. Those 2 bugs
would ALWAYS generate an "internal server error". But I was able to
grab an xml version of those 2 bugs, so at least we have all the bug
data. (And one of those bugs was marked RESOLVED/FIXED, so I'm
probably not going to work too hard to convert these to html.)

If you're worried about your email address being visible in the
archive, the display of all "mailto:"; links has been intentionally
broken, to block spammers from harvesting email addresses from our
archive. (The address is still readable - it's just the "mailto:"; link
has been converted to a "#" link.)

There's a simple "report" index that has links to all the bugs in the
archive, including a short description of each bug, but there's no
search function.

Special thanks to Tassilo for providing the hosting of our FreeDOS
Bugzilla on his systems, and his patience while we figured out what to
do with our old Bugzilla.
