- Debbugs upgrade notes
- +=====================+
-
-From 2.4.1 to 2.4.2
--------------------
-
-The file format used to store the status of a bug (package, severity, etc.)
-has changed; it is now in an RFC822-like format in order to be more
-extensible, and is written to .summary files rather than the old .status
-files. Before accepting any mail with the new version of debbugs, you must
-run the 'debbugs-upgradestatus' program over your bug spool. The old .status
-files will be left intact, and will continue to be written in sync with the
-.summary files for compatibility with external tools.
-
-There is a new standalone spam-scanning script called spamscan, which uses
-the SpamAssassin modules. To use it, set the $gSpamScan variable in
-/etc/debbugs/config to a true value and $gSpamMailbox to an mbox file to
-which detected spam should be appended, add /usr/lib/debbugs/spamscan to
-your crontab as per the example, and optionally set $gSpamRulesDir and
-$gSpamLocalTestsOnly as desired.
-
-From 2.4 to 2.4.1
------------------
-
-Add the following variables to the /etc/debbugs/config file:
-
-$gHTMLSuffix = ".html";
-
-The use of $gCGIDomain has been cleaned up; formerly, it needed to begin
-with "http://", which was confusingly inconsistent with all the other domain
-variables. If you worked around this in your configuration, you will need to
-recheck it.
-
-From 2.3 to 2.4
----------------
-
-Add the following variables to the /etc/debbugs/config file:
-
-$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
-$gPackagePages = "packages.debian.org"; # e.g. packages.debian.org
-$gSubscriptionDomain = "packages.something"; # e.g. packages.qa.debian.org
-$gMaintainerFileOverride = "$gConfigDir/Maintainers.override";
-$gUnknownMaintainerEmail = "$gMaintainerEmail";
-$gPackageSource = "$gConfigDir/indices/sources";
-
-$gWebDomain will probably exist already; change it as shown above.
-
-$gSubscriptionDomain is optional.
-
-$gMaintainerFileOverride is the name of a file used to manually override the
-Maintainers file (which is often automatically generated).
-
-$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>
