DescriptionThe P4DTI integration kit includes all the P4DTI sources, manuals, procedures, tools, etc, but the release building script (tool/build.py) can't run without additional materials. Specifically, it makes Bugzilla patch files by diffing the P4DTI Bugzilla sources against the original Bugzilla sources (for the corresponding Bugzilla releases), and these original Bugzilla sources are not includes in the kit.
AnalysisPossibilities:
1. include the original Bugzilla sources;
2. augment the release build instructions to indicate the requirement for original Bugzilla sources;
3. modify the release build script to allow the user to specify locations for the Bugzilla sources;
4. as for #3 but allowing the user to specify URLs (e.g. <ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/webtools/bugzilla-2.20.tar.gz>).
