The Bugzilla Mail interface
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
(UPDATE 03/14/00 to better reflect reality by SML)
|
|
|
|
The Bugzilla Mail interface allows to submit bugs to Bugzilla by email.
|
|
|
|
The Mail Interface Contribution consists of three files:
|
|
README.Mailif - this readme.
|
|
bug_email.pl - the script
|
|
bugmail_help.html - a user help html site
|
|
|
|
Installation:
|
|
|
|
Next is to add a user who receives the bugmails, e. g. bugmail. Create a
|
|
mail account and a home directory for the user.
|
|
|
|
The mailinterface script bug_email.pl needs to get the mail through stdin.
|
|
I use procmail for that, with the following line in the .procmailrc:
|
|
|
|
BUGZILLA_HOME=/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/bugzilla
|
|
:0 c
|
|
|(cd $BUGZILLA_HOME/contrib; ./bug_email.pl)
|
|
|
|
This defines the Bugzilla directory as the variable BUGZILLA_HOME and passes
|
|
all incoming mail to the script after cd'ing into the bugzilla home.
|
|
|
|
In some cases, it is necessary to alter the headers of incoming email. The
|
|
additional line to procmail :
|
|
|
|
:0 fhw
|
|
| formail -I "From " -a "From "
|
|
|
|
fixes many problems.
|
|
|
|
See bugzilla.procmailrc for a sample procmailrc that works for me (SML) and
|
|
also deals with bugzilla_email_append.pl
|
|
|
|
Customation:
|
|
|
|
There are some values inside the script which need to be customized for your
|
|
needs:
|
|
|
|
1. In sub-routine Reply (search 'sub Reply':
|
|
there is the line
|
|
print MAIL "From: Bugzilla Mailinterface<yourmail\@here.com>\n";
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
Fill in your correct mail here. That will make it easy for people to reply
|
|
to the mail.
|
|
|
|
2. check, if your sendmail resides in /usr/sbin/sendmail, change the path if neccessary.
|
|
Search the script after 'default' - you find some default-Settings for bug
|
|
reports, which are used, if the sender did not send a field for it. The defaults
|
|
should be checked and changed.
|
|
|
|
Thats hopefully all, we will come up with any configuration file or something.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your mail works, your script will insert mails from now on.
|
|
|
|
The mailinterface supports two commandline switches:
|
|
|
|
There are two command line switches :
|
|
|
|
-t: Testmode
|
|
The mailinterface does not really insert the bug into the database, but
|
|
writes some debug output to stdout and writes the mail into the file
|
|
bug_email_test.log in the data-dir.
|
|
|
|
-r: restricted mode
|
|
All lines before the first line with a keyword character are skipped.
|
|
In not restricted, default mode, these lines are added to the long
|
|
description of the bug.
