Bug 3906

Hi, thanks for reporting this bug.
As there is no maintainer for this package I added the committers in CC.

(Please set the status to 'assigned' if you are working on it)

Assignee: bugsquad => jquelin

this is a report you want to report upstream. agreed, they do know it since they state:

    If you are using old JSON::RPC code (up to 0.96), DO NOT EXPECT
    YOUR CODE TO WORK. THIS VERSION IS BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE.

maybe the best would be to report against bugzilla upstream?

so, i don't really know what you want me to do? i will not downgrade perl-JSON-RPC to 0.96, since mageia is shipping modules as they are on cpan... what is possible is to add a conflict either on bugzilla or perl-JSON-RPC package... so, what do you expect from me?

This bug has already been reported upstream, see bug 706753 on bmo.

Well, ideally, and as because JSON::RPC 1.01 states in bold that its new code is incompatible with previous versions, it would have been good to check which applications in Mageia depend on JSON::RPC, and do an audit to make sure this upgrade doesn't break anything. I don't remember the command to check the dependency chain with rpm, but someone who knows should run it.

Meanwhile, and because you are lucky enough to know the exact version you have in Cauldron (contrary to upstream where they have to assume that any version of JSON::RPC can be installed, depending on the distro), you could patch Bugzilla to change one single line in Bugzilla/WebService/Server/JSONRPC.pm, as explained here:

 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706753#c12

-use base qw(JSON::RPC::Server::CGI Bugzilla::WebService::Server);
+use base qw(JSON::RPC::Legacy::Server::CGI Bugzilla::WebService::Server);

bkor could easily do it, and drop the patch once a newer version of Bugzilla is released. The same patch should also force Bugzilla to depend on JSON::RPC 1.01 as a minimum, to force Cauldron users to upgrade to this version of JSON::RPC.

Note that this problem doesn't affect Mageia 1, as JSON::RPC 0.96 is still in use.

Reassigning to bkor and cc'ing dmorgan, as the change must be done into the bugzilla RPM.
