It takes as input text resembling message headers (RFC-822 +formatted) via standard input, or optionally a number of commandline +parameters. It communicates using HTTP, which allows it to work over a +network. + +Requirements +------------ + +Its only requirement is Python 2.3 or higher; you should have the +"python" executable in your path. + +Usage Notes +----------- + +* Please constrain testing to your own installation of Bugzilla, or use +* http://landfill.bugzilla.org/ for testing purposes -- opening test +* bugs on production instances of Bugzilla is definitely not a good idea + +Run "bug-bugzilla --help" for a description of the possible options. + +An example input file, named bugdata.txt, is provided. You can pipe it +in as standard input to bug-bugzilla, providing a Bugzilla URI through +the command-line. + +Note that you must create a ~/.netrc entry to authenticate against the +Bugzilla instance. The entry's machine field is a *quoted* Bugzilla URI, +the login field is your ID on that host, and the password field is the +your password password. An example entry follows: + + machine "http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/" + login foo@bar.loo + password snarf + +Documentation +------------- + +Documentation for bug-bugzilla is provided in Docbook format; see +bug-bugzilla.xml. + -- cgit v1.2.3-24-g4f1b
