Updated Bugzilla Guide and README to fix bug 76156, bug 76841, and bug 26242.

The README is now gutted, pointers to Guide. Also some new sections added, old ones fixed, and notes appended to deprecated sections I've not yet had the heart to remove.

<para>Bonsai is a web-based tool for managing
<xref linkend="cvs" />
. Using Bonsai, administrators can control open/closed status of trees,
query a fast relational database back-end for change, branch, and comment
information, and view changes made since the last time the tree was
closed. Bonsai
also integrates with

<para>CVS integration is best accomplished, at this point, using the
Bugzilla Email Gateway.</para>
<para>Follow the instructions in this Guide for enabling Bugzilla e-mail
integration. Ensure that your check-in script sends an email to your
Bugzilla e-mail gateway with the subject of
<quote>[Bug XXXX]</quote>,
and you can have CVS check-in comments append to your Bugzilla bug. If
you want to have the bug be closed automatically, you'll have to modify
the <filename>contrib/bugzilla_email_append.pl</filename> script.

<title>Perforce SCM</title>
<para>
Richard Brooksby created a Perforce integration tool for Bugzilla and TeamTrack.
You can find the main project page at
<ulink url="http://www.ravenbrook.com/project/p4dti/">
http://www.ravenbrook.com/project/p4dti</ulink>. "p4dti" is now an officially
supported product from Perforce, and you can find the "Perforce Public Depot"
p4dti page at <ulink url="http://public.perforce.com/public/perforce/p4dti/index.html">
http://public.perforce.com/public/perforce/p4dti/index.html</ulink>.
</para>
<para>There is also a CVSZilla project, based upon somewhat dated
Bugzilla code, to integrate CVS and Bugzilla through CVS' ability to
email. Check it out at: <ulink url="http://www.cvszilla.org/"/>.
<para>
Integration of Perforce with Bugzilla, once patches are applied, is fairly seamless. However,
p4dti is a patch against the Bugzilla 2.10 release, not the current 2.12 release. I anticipate
patches for 2.12 will be out shortly. Check the project page regularly for updates, or
take the given patches and patch it manually. p4dti is designed to support multiple defect
trackers, and maintains its own documentation for it. Please consult the pages linked
above for further information.
</para>
<para>Another system capable of CVS integration with Bugzilla is
Scmbug. This system provides generic integration of Source code
Configuration Management with Bugtracking. Check it out at: <ulink
url="http://freshmeat.net/projects/scmbug/"/>.
<para>
Right now, there is no way to synchronize the Bug ID and the Perforce Transaction Number, or
to change the Bug ID to read (PRODUCT).bugID unless you hack it in. Additionally, if you
have synchronization problems, the easiest way to avoid them is to only put the bug
information, comments, etc. into Bugzilla, and not into the Perforce change records.
They will link anyway; merely reference the bug ID fixed in your change description,
and put a comment into Bugzilla
giving the change ID that fixed the Bugzilla bug. It's a process issue, not a technology
question.

<para>Integration of Perforce with Bugzilla, once patches are applied, is
seamless. Perforce replication information will appear below the comments
of each bug. Be certain you have a matching set of patches for the
Bugzilla version you are installing. p4dti is designed to support
multiple defect trackers, and maintains its own documentation for it.
