|
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
