[eclipse-dev] How to search for bugs containing patches

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This question has come up a few times
recently, so I thought it worth passing along: You can find all bugs that
contain patches using the "Advanced Searching Using Boolean Charts"
option at the bottom of the bugzilla query page.  In the first radio
box, select "Attachment is patch", in the second box, select
"is equal to", and in the third box type "1" (no quotes).
 Note that "patch" is different from whether a bug contains
arbitrary attachments such as screen shots.

For example, here is a query for all
open bugs with patches in the "Platform" component:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&classification=Eclipse&product=Platform&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=attachments.ispatch&type0-0-0=equals&value0-0-0=1

Thanks to Philippe Mulet for initially
pointing out this useful (but slightly hidden) feature.
