Bug-Bugzilla
============
Authors: Christian Reis <kiko@async.com.br>
Eric Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>
Bug-Bugzilla 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 "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.
