Calendar:Bugzilla Component Architecture
Calendar Bugzilla Component Architecture
This page helps people unfamiliar with the calendar architecture to understand how the bugzilla components map to various parts of the software. Hopefully, this will aid you in choosing the proper component to file a bug against.
Our bugzilla components have recently changed (actually they are being changed as I write this), and therefore, a short document on how bugzilla components map to pieces of the software seems appropriate.
It might be useful to review these diagrams in order to get a better idea of how these pieces work together: Calendar architecture overview diagrams.
| Component Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Internal Components | For issues with the internal interfaces themselves (i.e. code from base or libical directories). An example of this would be oddities in date or timezone calculations. |
| General | For issues related to the Event/Task dialog, and for issues that do not fit into other categories such as installation or Operating System integration (an example: Sunbird failing to look up attendees in Mac addressbook). The build identifier field will be used to determine whether this applies to Lightning or Sunbird. |
| Day/Week/Multiweek/Month Event and Task Views | For issues concerning the grid views: display, drag/drop, searching, inline editing of events and tasks etc. |
| Lightning Only | For issues that only affect the Lightning product. For example: Lightning menus, toolbars, Thunderbird integration, preferences etc. Note that localization issues should be reported to the Mozilla Localization project. |
| Sunbird Only | For issues that only affect the Sunbird product. For example: toolbars, menu items, sunbird specific preferences, etc. Note that localization issues should be reported to the Mozilla Localization project. |
| Provider: Local Storage | For issues regarding local calendar storage, based on mozStorage (sqlite). |
| Provider: ICS/Webdav | For issues regarding communicating .ics files via remote (http:) and local (file:) URIs. |
| Provider: CalDav | For issues regarding communications with CalDAV servers. |
| Alarms | For issues with alarms for scheduled events and tasks. |
| Import/Export/Print | For issues with format conversions (for importing and exporting, emailing and printing, and cutting, pasting, dragging and dropping to/from another application). |
| Tasks | For issues with Task lists, display, editing, and searching. (If it applies only to tasks file it here, if it applies to tasks and events file it above in the Front End components). |
| Website | For issues with the Calendar Project web pages (HTML).
(Bugs in the on-line help documentation should be reported at the calendarhelp project.) |
