Description Dean Jackson 2013-08-13 13:40:52 PDT
It's 2013 - we should not be exposing our bugzilla tool URLs to the web when we have a nice redirect already in place.

Update prepare-ChangeLog to use https://webkit.org/b/id rather than the longer bugzilla form.

The hitch might be to make sure webkit-patch can detect the shorter url.
Comment 1 Joseph Pecoraro 2013-08-13 13:45:32 PDT
I would even prefer a single line for the bug and bug title, like radars:

    <http://webkit.org/b/119766> Make bug url more human friendly in ChangeLog

That would also make `git log --oneline` history for WebKit way easier to read then the current mess.

OK. Ignore this patch then. BTW, the patch was created with the changes, so webkit-patch works fine.

readableBugURL would be more readable than bugReadableURL.

This patch broke webkitbot's rollout ability, as it entirely failed to update changelog.py's changelog parsing code. I'm going to fix it in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120131.

Rolled out in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/154406.
Comment 9 Ryosuke Niwa 2013-08-21 13:31:29 PDT
There are just too many tools that rely on the old format.  Using wekbit.org/b/<~> URL is good but wrapping them in <> and putting the URL and bug title isn't.

It makes the long way too long for some bugs and wrapping it in < > breaks all sorts of tools.

@Jonathan & Ryan - do we need this now?

We still have 'prepare-ChangeLog' script.
