hooks for integrating with the Bugzilla bug tracker

# Description

This hook extension adds comments on bugs in Bugzilla when changesets that refer to bugs by Bugzilla ID are seen. The comment is formatted using the Mercurial template mechanism.

The bug references can optionally include an update for Bugzilla of the hours spent working on the bug. Bugs can also be marked fixed.

Four basic modes of access to Bugzilla are provided:

1. Access via the Bugzilla REST-API. Requires bugzilla 5.0 or later.
2. Access via the Bugzilla XMLRPC interface. Requires Bugzilla 3.4 or later.
3. Check data via the Bugzilla XMLRPC interface and submit bug change via email to Bugzilla email interface. Requires Bugzilla 3.4 or later.
4. Writing directly to the Bugzilla database. Only Bugzilla installations using MySQL are supported. Requires Python MySQLdb.

Writing directly to the database is susceptible to schema changes, and relies on a Bugzilla contrib script to send out bug change notification emails. This script runs as the user running Mercurial, must be run on the host with the Bugzilla install, and requires permission to read Bugzilla configuration details and the necessary MySQL user and password to have full access rights to the Bugzilla database. For these reasons this access mode is now considered deprecated, and will not be updated for new Bugzilla versions going forward. Only adding comments is supported in this access mode.

Access via XMLRPC needs a Bugzilla username and password to be specified in the configuration. Comments are added under that username. Since the configuration must be readable by all Mercurial users, it is recommended that the rights of that user are restricted in Bugzilla to the minimum necessary to add comments. Marking bugs fixed requires Bugzilla 4.0 and later.

Access via XMLRPC/email uses XMLRPC to query Bugzilla, but sends email to the Bugzilla email interface to submit comments to bugs. The From: address in the email is set to the email address of the Mercurial user, so the comment appears to come from the Mercurial user. In the event that the Mercurial user email is not recognized by Bugzilla as a Bugzilla user, the email associated with the Bugzilla username used to log into Bugzilla is used instead as the source of the comment. Marking bugs fixed works on all supported Bugzilla versions.

Access via the REST-API needs either a Bugzilla username and password or an apikey specified in the configuration. Comments are made under the given username or the user associated with the apikey in Bugzilla.

Configuration items common to all access modes:

bugzilla.version

  The access type to use. Values recognized are:

  `restapi`: | Bugzilla REST-API, Bugzilla 5.0 and later.
  `xmlrpc`: | Bugzilla XMLRPC interface.
  `xmlrpc+email`: | Bugzilla XMLRPC and email interfaces.
  `3.0`: | MySQL access, Bugzilla 3.0 and later.
  `2.18`: | MySQL access, Bugzilla 2.18 and up to but not including 3.0.
  `2.16`: | MySQL access, Bugzilla 2.16 and up to but not including 2.18.

bugzilla.regexp
  Regular expression to match bug IDs for update in changeset commit message. It must contain one "()" named group `<ids>` containing the bug IDs separated by non-digit characters. It may also contain a named group `<hours>` with a floating-point number giving the hours worked on the bug. If no named groups are present, the first "()" group is assumed to contain the bug IDs, and work time is not updated. The default expression matches `Bug 1234`, `Bug no. 1234`, `Bug number 1234`, `Bugs 1234,5678`, `Bug 1234 and 5678` and variations thereof, followed by an hours number prefixed by `h` or `hours`, e.g. `hours 1.5`. Matching is case insensitive.
bugzilla.fixregexp
  Regular expression to match bug IDs for marking fixed in changeset commit message. This must contain a "()" named group `<ids>` containing the bug IDs separated by non-digit characters. It may also contain a named group ``<hours>` with a floating-point number giving the hours worked on the bug. If no named groups are present, the first "()" group is assumed to contain the bug IDs, and work time is not updated. The default expression matches `Fixes 1234`, `Fixes bug 1234`, `Fixes bugs 1234,5678`, `Fixes 1234 and 5678` and variations thereof, followed by an hours number prefixed by `h` or `hours`, e.g. `hours 1.5`. Matching is case insensitive.
bugzilla.fixstatus
  The status to set a bug to when marking fixed. Default `RESOLVED`.
bugzilla.fixresolution
  The resolution to set a bug to when marking fixed. Default `FIXED`.
bugzilla.style
  The style file to use when formatting comments.
bugzilla.template

  Template to use when formatting comments. Overrides style if specified. In addition to the usual Mercurial keywords, the extension specifies:

  `{bug}`: | The Bugzilla bug ID.
  `{root}`: | The full pathname of the Mercurial repository.
  `{webroot}`: | Stripped pathname of the Mercurial repository.
  `{hgweb}`: | Base URL for browsing Mercurial repositories.

  Default `changeset {node|short} in repo {root} refers to bug {bug}.\ndetails:\n\t{desc|tabindent}`

bugzilla.strip
  The number of path separator characters to strip from the front of the Mercurial repository path (`{root}` in templates) to produce `{webroot}`. For example, a repository with `{root}` `/var/local/my-project` with a strip of 2 gives a value for `{webroot}` of `my-project`. Default 0.
web.baseurl
  Base URL for browsing Mercurial repositories. Referenced from templates as `{hgweb}`.

Configuration items common to XMLRPC+email and MySQL access modes:

bugzilla.usermap

  Path of file containing Mercurial committer email to Bugzilla user email mappings. If specified, the file should contain one mapping per line:

      committer = Bugzilla user

  See also the `[usermap]` section.

The `[usermap]` section is used to specify mappings of Mercurial committer email to Bugzilla user email. See also `bugzilla.usermap`. Contains entries of the form `committer = Bugzilla user`.

XMLRPC and REST-API access mode configuration:

bugzilla.bzurl
  The base URL for the Bugzilla installation. Default `http://localhost/bugzilla`.
bugzilla.user
  The username to use to log into Bugzilla via XMLRPC. Default `bugs`.
bugzilla.password
  The password for Bugzilla login.

REST-API access mode uses the options listed above as well as:

bugzilla.apikey
  An apikey generated on the Bugzilla instance for api access. Using an apikey removes the need to store the user and password options.

XMLRPC+email access mode uses the XMLRPC access mode configuration items, and also:

bugzilla.bzemail
  The Bugzilla email address.

In addition, the Mercurial email settings must be configured. See the documentation in hgrc(5), sections `[email]` and `[smtp]`.

MySQL access mode configuration:

bugzilla.host
  Hostname of the MySQL server holding the Bugzilla database. Default `localhost`.
bugzilla.db
  Name of the Bugzilla database in MySQL. Default `bugs`.
bugzilla.user
  Username to use to access MySQL server. Default `bugs`.
bugzilla.password
  Password to use to access MySQL server.
bugzilla.timeout
  Database connection timeout (seconds). Default 5.
bugzilla.bzuser
  Fallback Bugzilla user name to record comments with, if changeset committer cannot be found as a Bugzilla user.
bugzilla.bzdir
  Bugzilla install directory. Used by default notify. Default `/var/www/html/bugzilla`.
bugzilla.notify
  The command to run to get Bugzilla to send bug change notification emails. Substitutes from a map with 3 keys, `bzdir`, `id` (bug id) and `user` (committer bugzilla email). Default depends on version; from 2.18 it is "cd %(bzdir)s && perl -T contrib/sendbugmail.pl %(id)s %(user)s".

Activating the extension:

    [extensions]
    bugzilla =

    [hooks]
    # run bugzilla hook on every change pulled or pushed in here
    incoming.bugzilla = python:hgext.bugzilla.hook
