bugzilla-submit =============== Authors: Christian Reis <kiko@async.com.br> Eric Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com> bugzilla-submit is a simple Python program that creates bugs in a Bugzilla instance. 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 "bugzilla-submit --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 bugzilla-submit, 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 bugzilla-submit is provided in Docbook format; see bugzilla-submit.xml.
