Bugzilla Data Loss
Mac OS Forge experienced database corruption during our maintenance reboot this evening and had to roll back to a backup from this morning, August 20 at 2am. Thats about 17 hours of lost data. I cannot begin to explain how deeply sorry I am about this. Obviously, we will be taking corrective actions in the future to prevent this from happening again. I will be relaunching bugzilla shortly after sending this email. You can find some of the lost data captured in the email list archives [1] which may help in recreating bugs or comments.

Thanks for bringing Bugzilla back from the grave. Hopefully we didn't lose any state that we can't recover from elsewhere. It's kind of amazing how much this project gets done in 17 hours. :) Adam On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 10:14 PM, William Siegrist<wsiegrist@apple.com> wrote:

I realized that all patches I submitted in the past 17 hours were lost as well. Ryosuke On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 10:14 PM, William Siegrist <wsiegrist@apple.com>wrote:

Yes; patches that landed in the tree are still landed (although their bugs may have risen zombie-like from the grave) since the SVN repo was not affected, but patches that were merely attached to bugs have vanished. Hopefully you still have local copies and can re-attach them! PK

This sort of thing tends to put a kibosh on some people's workflow of using bugzilla as a source control tool (as recently read in #webkit.) Well at least abarth does this. Crap happens. -- Regards, Ryan

This is one place were local branches in a git repository work well. Dave

Fortunately, the stuff I was working on yesterday was sufficiently complicated that I kept it in local git branches. Hopefully no one lost work. Adam
