| |
| 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 |
