(Closes: #147713) * Change mta -> options.mta. (Closes: #147685, I hope) * Added "advanced" mode, which is like "standard" but not. (The main difference is that "standard" now ignores incoming, for better or for worse.) -- Chris Lawrence Wed, 22 May 2002 06:28:08 -0500 reportbug (1.99.25) unstable; urgency=low * -T none now works correctly. * Re-editing bug reports now works properly. (Closes: #147545) -- Chris Lawrence Mon, 20 May 2002 18:25:14 -0500 reportbug (1.99.24) unstable; urgency=low * Make --offline work like a toggle, like it should. -- Chris Lawrence Sat, 18 May 2002 19:49:40 -0500 reportbug (1.99.23) unstable; urgency=low * Added warning about not-fully-implemented interfaces (and reporting bugs therein). * Added --license option, for completeness. * Added --offline option. (Closes: #147375) * Ignore mua setting if --template is specified. (Closes: #147343) * Extra logic to make 'none' and 'done' work properly in ui.select_multiple. (Closes: #147339) * Always set realname and email in .reportbugrc after running --configure, rather than commenting them out if they are identical to the settings discovered in the environment. -- Chris Lawrence Sat, 18 May 2002 18:15:31 -0500 reportbug (1.99.22) unstable; urgency=low * Only check package integrity if it is installed.

(--file is probably more fun to use in the general case, though.) (Closes: #147139) * Fixup a few import issues that arose while fixing #147133. -- Chris Lawrence Thu, 16 May 2002 02:04:10 -0500 reportbug (1.99.20) unstable; urgency=low * Fix import cyclic loop.

Now requires Python 2.2. (Closes: #127716) + This introduces a priority imbalance bug in unstable. Since Python >= 2.2 will be the default Python for woody+1, this is a temporary situation. + Please see the changelog entries through 1.99.0 for changes from 1.50. + Various items were marked as fixed in experimental. (Closes: #113284, 135704) * Removed debugging info from output when using debsums. * Use full path when calling debsums. * Fix a buglet that left sendto unset. * Fix a bug in the bug script when .reportbugrc is not empty. * You now can only select each tag once. (Closes: #146156) (Implemented in the text UI: ui.select_multiple) * Menu prompts are now displayed when stdout is redirected. (Closes: #145936) * Check packages.debian.org in addition to the status database when filing an ITP/RFP, as the status database may include false positives when the package is built locally but not in Debian. (Closes: #146614) -- Chris Lawrence Sun, 12 May 2002 22:10:17 -0500 reportbug (1.99.16) experimental; urgency=low * --configure didn't work in .15; fixed. * Relax the justification check for serious bugs.

(The output was correct, as interpreted by libc.) (Closes: #141610) * Added debsums support; enabled in the distributed reportbug.conf. (Closes: #142334) -- Chris Lawrence Mon, 29 Apr 2002 21:39:06 -0500 reportbug (1.99.15) experimental; urgency=low * Integrated latest GNOME patch from Robin Putters. + Minor reworking to change ui.EXCEPTION into EXCEPTION. + Backed out the move of ui.handle_bts_query(). The GNOME frontend will need its own query routine. For now, it raises NotImplemented. * debconf-show output will be included if available. (See #142593) * Cleaned up the address rewriting stuff. * Massively sped up reportbug.get_package_info() by combining 2*DEPS regexps into 2 regexps. This speeds up reporting a bug on "lsb" by almost a minute on a PIII-450. * Rewrote the option parser to use Optik. The main user-visible effect is that reportbug --help is now a lot more useful. * Defined a new ui entry point: select_multiple. It should allow the user to select multiple, nonexclusive options and return a list of the selected options. (Currently not implemented in any ui module, but eventually will be used for tags.) -- Chris Lawrence Sun, 21 Apr 2002 04:26:07 -0500 reportbug (1.99.14) experimental; urgency=low * Updates from 1.50 * You can now report bugs in "kernel-image" and it will show a list of packages to choose from. (This is the normal virtual package behavior, but I had to do some work to make it function because kernel-image is in the menu.) * Minor code cleanups to get some lines < 80 chars. -- Chris Lawrence Fri, 5 Apr 2002 08:47:13 -0600 reportbug (1.99.13) experimental; urgency=low * Fix source queries when the source package and binary package are the same (in this case, src_package is not set). * Cleanup wording of the "new release" message. * Add debian-policy to the virtual packages list. (Closes: #139970) -- Chris Lawrence Mon, 1 Apr 2002 22:35:35 -0600 reportbug (1.99.12) experimental; urgency=low * Query on source packages when searching for bugs in the BTS by default. (Closes: #138928) * Any editor that has "emacs" in its name will now jump to a line number; this avoids needing to add emacs32 when it comes out... * Broke up the bug handling script into a script and a presubj. * Include user configuration file in reports on reportbug. * Converted ui.select_options(message, 'yn'...) to ui.yes_no(message...); this will help make non-text UIs cleaner, and may eventually aid i18n support. (This also cleaned up a lot of superfluous temporary variables in the code.) -- Chris Lawrence Tue, 19 Mar 2002 23:32:33 -0600 reportbug (1.99.11) experimental; urgency=low * Updated to 1.49. * Consolidated the url opening functions. * Added incoming check.

Mea culpa. (See #135704, #135710; already closed.) * Include GNOME interface patch from Robin Putters, and add some work-arounds to the code to handle GNOME nicely. * Ripped out the urllib code and replaced it with urllib2 code. This makes proxy authentication work in some circumstances, but it still needs additional work, particularly with bad proxy servers. -- Chris Lawrence Sat, 9 Mar 2002 02:21:40 -0600 reportbug (1.99.5) experimental; urgency=low * Checking for new versions can be disabled using --no-check-available or the parallel config option. * Added reportbug_exceptions.py for UI exception definitions. * Cull duplicate entries in the dependency output when both a real package and a virtual that is provided by that package exist. (e.g. packages with exim | mail-transport-agent no longer list exim twice if you have it installed.) -- Chris Lawrence Tue, 26 Feb 2002 02:48:42 -0600 reportbug (1.99.4) experimental; urgency=low * Centralized MUA listing in reportbug.py. * Added checking for new versions via packages.debian.org. -- Chris Lawrence Sat, 23 Feb 2002 19:10:06 -0600 reportbug (1.99.3) experimental; urgency=low * Integrated changes from 1.44. -- Chris Lawrence Sat, 23 Feb 2002 02:27:40 -0600 reportbug (1.99.2) experimental; urgency=low * Remove MUA/MIME lameness filter. (Closes: #133263) -- Chris Lawrence Sun, 10 Feb 2002 15:44:24 -0600 reportbug (1.99.1) experimental; urgency=low * Fix postinst script (it tried to use python1.5,2.1). * Integrated changes from 1.43. * Tab completion of bug numbers is now supported in the text interface. -- Chris Lawrence Sun, 10 Feb 2002 12:28:06 -0600 reportbug (1.99.0) experimental; urgency=low * Beginning of reportbug 2.0 rewrite. * Partially rewritten in Python 2.2 syntax. More to come, no doubt. * Modules moved to /usr/share/reportbug to better comport with Debian's Python policy. * Cleaned up installation of Python modules. * Added operating mode support (expert/novice/standard). (Closes: #121434) * First-time configuration added. (Closes: #118176) * Don't worry, I'm working my way through the wishlist... -- Chris Lawrence Sun, 3 Feb 2002 03:31:42 -0600 reportbug (1.42) unstable; urgency=medium * I give up on sqrt(2)... * Wishlist items from here out will only be implemented in the (not-yet-released) experimental branch. * WNPP support now works with source and unknown packages. (Closes: #131765) * No longer prompt when the subject was generated by the WNPP support. (Closes: #131100) * Silly me forgot that string.strip() gets rid of leading whitespace, so my implementation of #131472 didn't work. Now it does, and it's been tested. (Closes: #131472) * The mutt message has been defanged (for most, at least). Subsequent reports of this issue will be merged with #131100. You have been warned. * Added a diagnostic routine, per README.developers spec. (It also shows how to write one in something other than bash.) -- Chris Lawrence Fri, 1 Feb 2002 03:33:38 -0600 reportbug (1.41.1421356) unstable; urgency=medium * Use $EDITOR in preference to $VISUAL. (Closes: #131610) This makes reportbug act like the man page claims it does. * Back off a bit on #131100, due to popular demand. Just checking to see if anyone is actually using these packages... * Fix WNPP support to use source packages, not binary packages, when orphaning or RFA'ing a package. (Closes: #131471) * Include the full description of an WNPP'd package. (Closes: #131472) * Modified the prompt when the BTS browser is in standalone mode. (Closes: #129732) -- Chris Lawrence Wed, 30 Jan 2002 21:41:46 -0600 reportbug (1.41.142135) unstable; urgency=low * It'd be nice if this were the last release for woody... * Handle .'s in the realname part of addresses correctly, as rfc822.quote() doesn't seem to work right. (Closes: #127637) * Add message warning certain users not to attach stuff in external programs until debbugs is fixed to handle MIME correctly, at which time this message will look incredibly stupid. "Fixes" my part of #131100 ("Chris should never have let people edit messages in programs that can attach MIME, and therefore is responsible for problems in debbugs."). Alternate solution: disable --mutt. Y'alls' choice. * Update copyright year in modified files. * Warn if subject > 60 characters. (Closes: #129099) * Added security.debian.org to valid pseudopackages. (Closes: #129889) * Warn if run with uid < 500. (Closes: #128936) (I chose 500 since systems converted from other distributions may have real users with IDs >= 500.) -- Chris Lawrence Sun, 27 Jan 2002 17:41:41 -0600 reportbug (1.41.14213) unstable; urgency=medium * The "hopefully we won't run out of double precision in sqrt(2)" release. * Work around lack of socket.fqdn() in Python 1.5.2 by swiping the routine from Python 2.1+ and backporting. This only affects systems that didn't have a valid /etc/mailname, and thus would have died running reportbug (< 1.41.14) anyway. (Closes: #126867) -- Chris Lawrence Sun, 30 Dec 2001 00:38:18 -0800 reportbug (1.41.1421) unstable; urgency=low * Ignore empty $EDITOR or $VISUAL. (Closes: #126178) * Document $BROWSER.

(Closes: #123975) * Bugs can be selected by a short number from the text BTS browser. (Closes: #118333) * Check /etc/email-addresses for an email address, if available. * Allow $DEBFULLNAME as an alternative for $DEBNAME. * If /etc/mailname doesn't exist, use socket.getfqdn() instead. -- Chris Lawrence Sun, 16 Dec 2001 22:47:34 -0600 reportbug (1.41.1) unstable; urgency=medium * Added option '--template'. (Closes: #123467) * Don't edit subject lines specified on the command line. * Search all packages, not just installed ones, when reporting a bug in a source package.

One of these decades I'll figure out enough CVS to actually maintain this branch with it too... * Followup-For now recognized as a pseudoheader. (Closes: self-discovered-bug) * Warn when the severity is downgraded by the severity lameness filter. (Closes: #122962) -- Chris Lawrence Mon, 10 Dec 2001 02:49:05 -0600 reportbug (1.40) unstable; urgency=medium * Third crack at a final woody release. The 1.x series will approach sqrt(2) asymptotically from here out. * Cleaned up .reportbugrc handling code even more. As a bonus, 'bts' finally works as a config file option... * Suppress stderr diagnostics from dpkg --search. * Fix severity specification in rc files, for real this time. A silly thinko was stopping it from working. (Closes: #122539) * Fix crash when --file is specified and not found. Also a side-effect of implementing #121707. (Closes: #122648) * Explicitly warn the user that temporary files might be located in temporary directories, and thus might not persist. (Closes: #122652) -- Chris Lawrence Thu, 6 Dec 2001 02:52:12 -0600 reportbug (1.39) unstable; urgency=medium * Fix stupidity in implementation of #121707. -- Chris Lawrence Sun, 2 Dec 2001 15:01:25 -0600 reportbug (1.38) unstable; urgency=low * Probably the last release for woody... see if you can break this one. * Upload of NMU of newt fixed problems with python-newt. (Closes: #119815, #120245) * Don't crash when severity is specified in .reportbugrc. (Closes: #121380) * Fix crasher in querybts -w introduced in 1.36. (Closes: #121799) * If the specified package name looks like a filename, act like -f was specified. (Closes: #121707) * You can now specify an editor with --editor (-e) or in .reportbugrc. (Closes: #121736) * Include a slightly-modified copy of bug's README.developers, to better document the per-package hook options. -- Chris Lawrence Fri, 30 Nov 2001 17:28:21 -0600 reportbug (1.37) unstable; urgency=low * Handle Justification: serious better. (Closes: #120631) * If a package name is Provided by another package on the system, and not installed itself, allow the user to select amongst the packages Providing it. (For example, you can do "reportbug fetchmail" even if fetchmail-ssl is installed.) (Closes: #121054) -- Chris Lawrence Sun, 25 Nov 2001 01:47:26 -0600 reportbug (1.36) unstable; urgency=medium * The "reportbug has fan mail" release (see this week's LWN Letters page). * Work around #119815 by conflicting with python-newt 0.50.17-7.1. * In some weird situations, reportbug could bomb out with an exception if no package was specified. (Closes: #119853) * The unversioned recommendation for python-newt is deliberate. This way an upgraded reportbug should work safely on a partially-upgraded potato system. (Closes: #119142) (No python >> 1.5 features will be used until reportbug 2.0.) * Added source report support to querybts and reportbug. Use querybts --source or select a source package in reportbug. -- Chris Lawrence Sat, 17 Nov 2001 20:41:39 -0600 reportbug (1.35) unstable; urgency=medium * Fix postinst to compile on Python 2.1 systems.

Should fix #117102. -- Chris Lawrence Thu, 25 Oct 2001 17:25:56 -0500 reportbug (1.32) unstable; urgency=low * New option: --mta. Allows you to specify an alternate path for a sendmail clone; it must accept standard sendmail options. (Closes: #116751) * Don't clear the screen in querybts if using the text ui. * reportbug will run with any version of Python in the archive; however, there doesn't seem to be a clean way to handle this yet. For now, depend on python1.5-base | python-base (<< 2.1) until this gets straightened out. * Downgraded python-newt to a (very strong) recommendation, since querybts can run without it. * Removed reference to Progeny Debian in the description. -- Chris Lawrence Tue, 23 Oct 2001 21:21:13 -0500 reportbug (1.31) unstable; urgency=medium * Report detected email address before going through the BTS browser.

(Closes: #114485) * You can now force reporting a bug in a source package, though generally most bugs should be reported against binary packages. * Changed Build-Depends to Build-Depends-Indep. (Fixes lintian warning.) * Updated to DH_COMPAT=3. -- Chris Lawrence Sun, 7 Oct 2001 00:03:39 -0500 reportbug (1.29) unstable; urgency=low * Improve long description. (Closes: #112301) * Reworked subject prepending code. (Closes: #111653) * If a name of a source package is specified without a matching binary package, present a menu of binary packages based on that source package to the user, instead of giving up. (Closes: #96146) * Corrected previous changelog entry's reference to the subject prepending code's ID number. -- Chris Lawrence Thu, 20 Sep 2001 18:24:11 -0500 reportbug (1.28) unstable; urgency=medium * The "why can't Sony make a laptop keyboard that lasts more than six months?" release. * Only prepend the subject with the package name if it doesn't contain ": " in it already.

(Closes: #77424) * Fix deprecated use of global declaration after first use of a variable in a function; this would break reportbug in a future Python release. -- Chris Lawrence Sun, 17 Jun 2001 00:43:48 -0500 reportbug (1.17) unstable; urgency=low * Fix a crasher when the length of the subject of a report is greater than the width of the screen. (Fixes #98167, but I reassigned it to python-newt so the underlying bug in the toolkit will be fixed.) * Fix a crasher when a filename being searched for contains colons. (Closes: #98421) * Suppress new dpkg messages. (Closes: #98540) * Handle DNS failures more gracefully. (Closes: #98328) * Improve signature handling when there are no pseudoheaders. (Closes: #99382) * Properly report locale settings. (Closes: #98550) * Add -L option to make mailing list CC's easier. (Closes: #98707) * Added tags support (and a -T option). (Closes: #97275) -- Chris Lawrence Fri, 1 Jun 2001 23:54:33 -0500 reportbug (1.16) unstable; urgency=low * End-of-semester bugfix fun... * Fix documentation and program so --filename actually works as a long option. (Closes: #95057) * Remove the discussion of querybts's option "-w" in reportbug.1 (Closes: #95786) * Add explicit quit option to the internal BTS browser. (Closes: #96589) * reportbug seems to run under Python 2.0 here; applied patch from Gordon Sadler to fix bug comparison. (Closes: #95481) * Make sure allow_numbers is passed on in recursive calls to select_options() in reportbug_ui_text. (Closes: #95553) * If unable to connect to the BTS, prompt for abort instead of just barrelling on through. (Closes: #96005) * Include locale information in the System Information section of bug reports. (Closes: #95805) * Include date of submission in displayed reports. (Closes: #93733) * Include the bug report number in a pseudoheader in followup reports. (Closes: #93570) -- Chris Lawrence Sat, 12 May 2001 01:21:05 -0500 reportbug (1.15) unstable; urgency=low * Port forward a fix from 0.54.1 in LDAP queries. * Fix description of the '-d' option in the help. (Closes: #87821) * minor and wishlist bugs now prompt the submitter whether or not they should go to maintonly. (Closes: #87122) * Better heuristic for non-existent packages when querying. (Closes: #86149) * Fix use of deprecated list.append(x,y) for list.append((x,y)). (Closes: #93159) * Ensure there is a prompt on followups to existing reports. (Closes: #88960) * Update long description to make it more useful in the context of being a "standard" package. -- Chris Lawrence Fri, 6 Apr 2001 22:48:01 -0500 reportbug (1.14) unstable; urgency=high * The root URL for the Debian BTS's CGI scripts has changed. This probably breaks the version in stable horribly, so I may backport a fix for proposed-updates. (Closes: #86032) * Rename 'helixcode' to 'ximian'; keep 'helixcode' as an alias for the Ximian bug tracking system. -- Chris Lawrence Thu, 15 Feb 2001 16:12:45 -0600 reportbug (1.13) unstable; urgency=low * I guess 1.12 wasn't as horribly buggy as I thought it might be :-) * Fix reporting with packages that have ": " in their description, like gkrellm. (Closes: #85275) -- Chris Lawrence Thu, 8 Feb 2001 12:08:31 -0600 reportbug (1.12) unstable; urgency=low * The "wait until a good version is in testing before breaking everything horribly" release. * User interface abstraction in progress... this version may be slightly more unstable than usual. Currently installs reportbug_ui_text (working) and reportbug_ui_newt (not fully working for reportbug, but used by querybts). * For kicks, try querybts --ui=text. If it breaks, both pieces are yours. * Remove dependency on whiptail; all querybts dialogs are now handled by python-newt. * Improvements in screen handling in querybts. This should resolve the remaining issues with #82895. (Closes: #82895) * Fix skip command in the reportbug browser when there is more than one page of bugs in the same category. (Closes: #84327) * Looking at individual bug reports in reportbug now works a bit differently; you are now prompted if you want to give more info and can launch a browser to look at that bug. (To put it another way: the functionality of querybts is merged in, even in text mode. UI abstraction is our friend.) Downside: a few more keypresses to look at lots of reports. * You can now quit while looking at a report in querybts. (Closes: #62614) * redisplay now shows the last screenful, not just min(last_screenful, last_category). Someone complained about this in an already-closed report (in addition to the main issue, which was resolved elsewhere). * Don't clear the screen in querybts if it exits without an exception. * pgp/gpg signing now omits the pseudoheaders from the signed section. * Report numbers with a leading # now really work in querybts. Note that you'll have to escape (or quote) the # in many shells... * Remove some cruft from the source tree. * Incorporated support for the Progeny BTS. Queries are not available (I have not written a GNATS query module), but report submission is. * -C command line option incorporated to specify the class of the report for gnats servers. * -S command line option allows either gnats or debbugs severities. These are mapped transparently to the severity appropriate for the specified BTS (i.e. wishlist on debbugs becomes non-critical for gnats; non-critical for gnats becomes normal for Debian). * The --bts option now overrides whatever's detected from the package info. However, bts options in the rc files will not override that setting. This seems like a reasonable default so Origin makes sense on Debian forks, who can set /etc/reportbug.conf to point to their BTS. * Updated TODO list to add some things that have been kicking around in my head. * If multiple packages match a file requested by the -f option, list the first 3 matching files for each package. * Old --quiet is now --report-quiet; removed short option. * New --quiet suppresses diagnostic output to stderr; nothing except prompts should be written to the screen by reportbug when this flag is specified. Primarily for UI testing. * reportbug now has special prompt support for particular packages. This is particularly useful with pseudopackages like wnpp, wherein the severity of the report should be based on the subject (and the subject should include certain keywords). (Note that this is different from the "included in package" prompt support, which has been supported for some time.) Try reporting a wnpp bug to see what it does... who knows, you may even like it ;-) * Updated priority to 'standard'. -- Chris Lawrence Tue, 6 Feb 2001 09:58:01 -0600 reportbug (1.11) unstable; urgency=medium * Another fix to -B option. -- Chris Lawrence Sat, 27 Jan 2001 18:21:24 -0600 reportbug (1.10) unstable; urgency=medium * Fix -B option when a package's status is not queried by reportbug. (Closes: #83552) * Somewhat better handling of bogus $http_proxy settings. reportbug and querybts still fail with an exception, but it gives a hint why. Also document the syntax even more explicitly in the man pages. (Closes: #83301) * You can now do 'querybts #82843' (allowing a leading #). (Closes: #82843) * If you're running querybts under Python 2.x, use the webbrowser module instead of our own internal logic. (Closes: #83545) * Handle missing reports more gracefully. (Closes: #83579) * List all addresses a report is sent to, not just those specified on the command line. (Closes: #81609) * If you request more info on a bug, $PAGER will be used. (Closes: #82791, #48328) * reportbug now runs if readline cannot be imported. * Tab-completion is now supported at some prompts if the readline module can be imported. This affects the severity prompt and the packages prompt at the moment. (Closes: #81496, #82843) * Leading and trailing spaces on input are now stripped. This shouldn't hurt anything, and makes tab completion behave nicely. * Complies to policy 3.2.1.0, no changes necessary. -- Chris Lawrence Sat, 27 Jan 2001 00:41:34 -0600 reportbug (1.9) unstable; urgency=medium * Fix crasher in reportbug -f. (Closes: #81060, #81134) * The -o option now overrides any mua setting. (Closes: #81048) * reportbug no longer displays multiple screenfuls at once. (Closes: #48444) Thanks to Shaleh for his suggested fix. * You can redisplay the last set of bugs listed too. (Closes: #49154) -- Chris Lawrence Sat, 6 Jan 2001 21:21:31 -0600 reportbug (1.8) unstable; urgency=low * Revert time locale in reportbug.rfcdatestr() after calling strftime. * Try to find a file specified with -f before following symlinks. (Closes: #78583) * Quote the "real name" part of email addresses using rfc822.quote if necessary. * Accepts $REPORTBUGEMAIL as a possible From address; also, now the --email option (and email config file option) override any environment variables except $REPORTBUGEMAIL. (Closes: #79976) -- Chris Lawrence Thu, 21 Dec 2000 14:48:31 -0600 reportbug (1.7) unstable; urgency=low * Virtual packages list synchronized with http://www.debian.org/Bugs/pseudo-packages (Closes: #78489). -- Chris Lawrence Fri, 1 Dec 2000 21:55:10 -0600 reportbug (1.6) unstable; urgency=low * "Serious" severity was misnamed "severe," so people could not file serious bug reports. (Closes: #78412) * Fix followup template bug. (Closes: #78434) -- Chris Lawrence Thu, 30 Nov 2000 20:18:06 -0600 reportbug (1.5) unstable; urgency=high * Rename local variable "system" to "bts". (Closes: #78037, #78038) * Handle "mailto" submissions. * Support the updated bug severities list. * Followup support was fixed in 1.4. (Closes: #71842) -- Chris Lawrence Sun, 26 Nov 2000 18:18:38 -0600 reportbug (1.4) unstable; urgency=low * Happy Belated Thanksgiving. * Fix followup boilerplate for non-Debian BTSes. (Closes: #76790) * Add "minor" severity, not that I can find any documentation of its existence... (Closes: #76665) * #75137 was fixed in 1.1 (same as #68681, I think). (Closes: #75137) * Remove support for the TDYC bug tracking system, since KDE2 is in Debian now and the BTS there has been shut down. (Closes: #77335) * Add support for the Origin and Bugs headers. (Closes: #76669) Origin probably works well, Bugs probably doesn't do what you want it to yet (it can report to the server, but I'm almost certain it won't query the right server). * BTSes found in /etc/dpkg/origins/* will be added to the BTS list automatically. Any Bugs: line other than debbugs URLs will probably not work, however. * Some internal architecture support for reporting to GNATS. It isn't all there yet, so unless you want to see tracebacks tread lightly. * #62338 is not a bug; see the -i option. (Closes: #62338) * Incredible hackery to avoid weird issues when your cwd gets deleted in the middle of running reportbug. (Closes: #77954) -- Chris Lawrence Sat, 25 Nov 2000 01:03:55 -0600 reportbug (1.3) unstable; urgency=low * Fix mh/nmh reporting, thanks to a patch from Chris Danis.

(Closes: #69624) * New option: --query-only. (Closes: #69213) * 'querybts -w' now uses the CGI urls for a BTS, if available. -- Chris Lawrence Sun, 27 Aug 2000 01:08:41 -0500 reportbug (1.1) unstable; urgency=high * The "I shoulda called it 0.99" release. * Fix stupid thinkos. (Closes: #68667, #68672) * reportbug now thinks a package is installed unless it is in the states of 'config-files' (only) or 'not-installed'. (Closes: #68681) -- Chris Lawrence Sun, 6 Aug 2000 23:17:30 -0500 reportbug (1.0) unstable; urgency=low * Jump to 1.0; I think the basic implementation is now stable. * Enabled "query-dpkg" for the Helix Code BTS, since they supply .debs. * LDAP is no longer the default system for communicating with the BTS. Config files changed accordingly. * '-l' means '--ldap' now, which actually makes more sense. * We now use the cgi interface to the Debian BTS if available. This should eliminate most latency issues. -- Chris Lawrence Sun, 6 Aug 2000 04:08:00 -0500 reportbug (0.59) unstable; urgency=medium * Fix bug in LDAP queries.

(Closes: #66746) * Rationalization of the debianbts and reportbug modules. Only things specific to reportbug are in the reportbug module. (Closes: #66323) * Exceptions in querybts now leave the terminal in a less inconsistent state. * Missing reports no longer crash querybts. (Closes: #67870) * Packages that are removed, but still have config files, are now correctly detected. (Closes: #67002) * Handle the functions documented in the bug package's /usr/share/doc/bug/README.developers. (Closes: #59401) -- Chris Lawrence Tue, 1 Aug 2000 23:11:58 -0500 reportbug (0.57) unstable; urgency=low * Fix weird bug where LDAP database didn't get the whole bug report (see #25554 for an example). (Closes: #65369). -- Chris Lawrence Thu, 8 Jun 2000 18:31:32 -0500 reportbug (0.56) unstable; urgency=low * Renamed "Ok" button to "Quit" in querybts. (Closes: #65008) * Renamed --bts-query (and --no-bts-query) to --query-bts (and --no-query-bts) to fix a option name conflict. (Closes: #64939) * Also changed the corresponding rc file options for consistency. Look for "unrecognized token" messages. * Add various versions of emacs and xemacs to the list of programs reportbug knows how to move the cursor start position in. -- Chris Lawrence Thu, 1 Jun 2000 19:27:00 -0500 reportbug (0.55) unstable; urgency=low general stuff: * Lotsa fixes here... * Handle 407 "proxy authentication required" like 401 "authorization required" (Closes: #60445) * Handle empty bug bodies more gracefully.

(Closes: #63443) * Handle missing subjects in HTTP bug lists. (Closes: #64305) reportbug stuff: * The pager for changed config files actually works now. (Closes: #60275) * Non-pseudoheaders are now acceptable in the pseudoheader section. (Closes: #62762, #63790) * Calls to raw_input() replaced with a local function that traps Ctrl-D and handles it gracefully. (Closes: #62814) * Allow sending an empty bug report if you jump through enough hoops. (Closes: #63032) * 'i' now completely removed. If you want to do what 'i' did, use 'm' in the BTS browser. (Closes: #63323) * I tried to work around #63970 ("weird behavior on sparc"), please test. * Don't fork 'tty' every time we print something. * Added logic to make it harder to submit a 'general' bug report, since I've been seeing a lot of (bogus instances of) them filed with reportbug lately. -- Chris Lawrence Thu, 18 May 2000 11:30:01 -0500 reportbug (0.54) frozen unstable; urgency=low * The "Chris should never take a vacation" release. * Got rid of now-redundant "i" option in BTS browser.

(Closes: #59161) * reportbug: add '--bts-query' option (Closes: #57790) * reportbug.py: add "bug details template" support to the package. This supports providing a per-package set of instructions to the user that will (hopefully) help the maintainer track down the bug more easily. It uses a file /usr/share/doc/{package}/Debian.bugtemplate, which should contain some special instructions for the user. A lame example of this template appears in this package. (Closes: #58816) * reportbug: Added maintainer name to spam. (Closes: #58230) * reportbug: You can now view the modified configuration files before deciding whether or not to send them.

Also added an option to launch a browser from the bug report page. (Closes: #49156) * Fixed "missing screens when in xterm/rxvt" problem in querybts.
