248203 - bugzilla-change script to complement bugzilla-submit

Status: NEW

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

I have a bugzilla-change script based on bugzilla-submit, which makes all of the
existing parameters optional, but requires a bug ID, and submits to process_bug.cgi.

Will upload shortly.

This has been made use of... I was probably lucky and didn't encounter any
errors. :)  The error checking hasn't been modified (much) from bugzilla-submit,
and the errors that process_bug.cgi produces might not all be the same...

It would be nice to find a way to reuse the bugzilla-submit code, somehow. But
then it would really require a Bugzilla.py module and a setup.py to install.

How do you feel about this, Dave?

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

why not?  is there a reason it needs to be installed, or can we just ask them to
set PYTHONPATH appropriately to find it?  (Or is there a way to set that at
runtime?)

Comment 5

[Christian Reis]

You can definitely set PYTHONPATH first, even in runtime, but then the problem
is finding out *where* the user placed his Bugzilla.py file. Installing into the
site-packages directory is a "good thing". We can make a simple distutils thing
that does installation in about 5 minutes.

Anything more come out of modularizing this into Bugzilla.py?  

thanks

Reassigning bugs that I'm not actively working on to the default component owner
in order to try to make some sanity out of my personal buglist.  This doesn't
mean the bug isn't being dealt with, just that I'm not the one doing it.  If you
are dealing with this bug, please assign it to yourself.
