Package: reportbug Version: 4.12.1 Severity: wishlist I rane the configuration script (reportbug --configure) and when prompted for my realname, entered: Paul "TBBle" Hampson
This was stored in the config file as realname "Paul "TBBle" Hampson" Which meant that the bugreport went out as "Paul <paul.hamp...@pobox.com>" I tried putting \ in front of the embedded double-quotes in the configuration file, but that then tried to send as "Paul \ <paul.hamp...@pobox.com>" Third time was the charm, converting the delimiting double-quotes into single-quotes worked. It'd be nice if the code that wrote out the config file flipped its quote marks for the string if it detected double quotes and no single quotes in the setting being written. If both are present, my best quess is to use whichever of triple-single or triple-double quotes the string doesn't contain or end with. It's yucky, and mainly uninteresting, I realise. I'm not aware of any useful stringification function built into Python, sadly. This is wishlist because I suspect I'm the only person on the Internet who does this, and it was fixable in the configuration file. And because I should have noticed the error at program startup, rather than after I sent the bug. >_< I now know about it, so don't consider it in any way a blocker for me personally. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: DEBEMAIL="pa...@microforte.com" INTERFACE="text" ** /home/tbble/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "4.12.1" mode standard ui text realname 'Paul "TBBle" Hampson' email "paul.hamp...@pobox.com" smtphost "smtp.gmail.com:587" smtpuser "mygmailusern...@gmail.com" smtptls -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 0.7.25.3 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii python 2.5.4-9 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-reportbug 4.12.1 Python modules for interacting wit reportbug recommends no packages.
