Debbugs upgrade notes
                           +=====================+

From 2.3 to 2.4
---------------

Add the following variables to the /etc/debbugs/config file:

$gWebHost = "localhost";				# e.g. www.debian.org
$gWebHostBugDir = "Bugs";				# e.g. Bugs
# For now, don't change this one manually!
$gWebDomain = "$gWebHost/$gWebHostBugDir";
$gCGIDomain = "$gWebDomain/Bugs/cgi";			# e.g. cgi.debian.org
$gPackagePages = "packages.debian.org";                 # e.g. packages.debian.org
$gMaintainerFileOverride = "$gConfigDir/Maintainers.override";
$gUnknownMaintainerEmail = "$gMaintainerEmail";
$gPackageSource = "$gConfigDir/indices/sources";

$gWebDomain will probably exist already; change it as shown above.

$gMaintainerFileOverride is the name of a file used to manually override the
Maintainers file (which is often automatically generated).

$gUnknownMaintainerEmail is the address to mail when a bug report arrives
for a package with no maintainer in $gMaintainerFile or
$gMaintainerFileOverride.

$gPackageSource is a file containing three tab-separated columns: package
name, component (e.g. main, contrib, non-free), and the corresponding source
package name.

Add the following variable to the /etc/debbugs/text file:

############################################################################
# Description of the tags
############################################################################
$gHTMLTagDesc = "
<dt><code>patch</code>
  <dd>A patch or some other easy procedure for fixing the $gBug is included in
  the $gBug logs. If there\'s a patch, but it doesn\'t resolve the $gBug
  adequately or causes some other problems, this tag should not be used.

<dt><code>wontfix</code>
  <dd>This $gBug won\'t be fixed. Possibly because this is a choice between two
  arbitrary ways of doing things and the maintainer and submitter prefer
  different ways of doing things, possibly because changing the behaviour
  will cause other, worse, problems for others, or possibly for other
  reasons.

<dt><code>moreinfo</code>
  <dd>This $gBug can\'t be addressed until more information is provided by the
  submitter. The $gBug will be closed if the submitter doesn\'t provide ore
  information in a reasonable (few months) timeframe. This is for $gBugs like
  \"It doesn\'t work\". What doesn\'t work?

<dt><code>unreproducible</code>
  <dd>This $gBug can\'t be reproduced on the maintainer\'s system.  Assistance
  from third parties is needed in diagnosing the cause of the problem.

<dt><code>fixed</code>
  <dd>This $gBug is fixed or worked around, but there\'s still an issue that
  needs to be resolved. (This will eventually replace the \"fixed\" severity)

<dt><code>stable</code>
  <dd>This $gBug affects the stable distribution in particular.  This is only
  intended to be used for ease in identifying release critical $gBugs that
  affect the stable distribution.  It\'ll be replaced eventually with
  something a little more flexible, probably.
";

The bug database is now stored in a hashed directory format (db-h).  You
will need to migrate your database to this new format.  The
/usr/sbin/debbugs-dbhash program is provided to help you perform this
migration.

From 2.2 to 2.3
---------------

There are three new scripts that have to be installed in CGI and the front
page (or any other search you have set up) needs to be changed to use these
scripts.  They are:
	* bugreport.cgi
	* common.pl
	* pkgreport.cgi

Add the following variables to the /etc/debbugs/config file:
(the /usr/share/doc/debbugs/examples/config file can be used as a
reference)

$gSummaryList = "summary.list";         #debian-bugs-report@lists
$gSaveOldBugs = 1;

Make sure you do not have a double ,, as shown here if you're using the
default severities.  Also, 'fixed' was added to the default severities:
-                                       'normal',"Normal $gBugs",,
+                                       'normal',"Normal $gBugs",
+				                        'fixed',"NMU Fixed $gBugs",
 
These have been added to the /etc/debbugs/text file:
+############################################################################
+#  Here is a blurb to point people to ftp archive of directions.  It is
+#  used by the receive script when bouncing a badly formatted email
+#
+# $gTextInstructions = "$gBadEmailPrefix
+# $gBadEmailPrefix Instructions are available from ftp.debian.org in /debian
+# $gBadEmailPrefix and at all Debian mirror sites, in the files:
+# $gBadEmailPrefix  doc/bug-reporting.txt
+# $gBadEmailPrefix  doc/bug-log-access.txt
+# $gBadEmailPrefix  doc/bug-maint-info.txt
+# $gBadEmailPrefix";
+############################################################################
+$gTextInstructions = "$gBadEmailPrefix";
+
+
 
$gHTMLStart = "<BODY TEXT=#0F0F0F>";	#this is used by HTML generation to create the "uniform look"
 
The following code was added to /etc/debbugs/text if you use the new fixed
severity

 	<DT><CODE>wishlist</CODE>
-	<DD>for any feature request, and also for any $gBugs that are very difficult
-	to fix due to major design considerations.";
+	<DD>for any feature request, and also for any $gBugs that are very 
+	difficult to fix due to major design considerations.";
+
+	<DT><CODE>fixed</CODE>
+	<DD>fixed in the current version in the unstable archive but the fix has
+	not been fixed by the person responsible.
  
 In All such entries in /etc/debbugs/text, if you replace <BODY> with
 $gHTMLStart, all html pages will have the same look (as specified in
 $gHTMLStart):

 $gSummaryIndex = "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>$gProject $gBug report logs - summary index</TITLE>
 $gPackageLog = "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>$gProject $gBug report logs - index by package</TITLE>
