BMO/RetiringComponents

To move components to the "Graveyard" classification in Bugzilla.

1. Create the new product "[Whatever] Graveyard" if not yet exists and make sure new bugs cannot be filed in the graveyard product.
2. Find out which flags are enabled for the old product/component by going to editflagtypes.cgi and filtering the flag list based on the product/component using the drop down menus.
3. Go to each flag needed to be preserved, and add the new Graveyard product to the inclusion list.
4. Enable the same groups for the new Graveyard product so private bugs remain private. 5. Create the new component under the Graveyard product. Preferably with the same name, description, users, etc.
6. If there are only a few bugs to move from the old to the graveyard, you can use the mass edit form for buglist.cgi and just spam people if necessary. If there are a lot then the movebugs.pl script is the better way to go (no email).
7. If movebugs.pl is needed move to next section (IT) otherwise skip it and go on to the next.

For the IT person:

1. cd to the web root for BMO (cgi files for Bugzilla)
2. # perl contrib/reorg-tools/syncmsandversions.pl Bookt2Gecko "Boot2Gecko Graveyard"
3. # perl contrib/reorg-tools/movebugs.pl "Boot2Gecko" "Gaia::Calculator" \

                                         "Boot2Gecko Graveyard" "Gaia::Calculator"

4. Move bug back to bugzilla.mozilla.org product so admin can remove old component.

BMO Admin:

Delete old component when all bugs have been moved and close out issue.

To move an entire product to the graveyard, you will need the editclassifications permission and then go to editclassifications.cgi.
