On the same subject I invite everyone to test out "getbugs" which is at http://www.debian.org/~bcollins/getbugs.pl. It's a Net::LDAP script that interfaces to the BTS directly (no waiting for the bugs to be generated), and it also has some nice features. Run it with --help on first exec. Some common incantations: getbugs -c debian/control This will download a summary of all the bugs for the packages in the control file. getbugs -b 22222 report This will page the output of the bug report to your screen getbugs -p foo This will get a summary for all the bugs in package "foo" getbugs -x -i This will recursively search for debian/control files and download summaries for all the bug reports in all the packages in all the control files it finds (from cwd). The -x makes it output some statistics (total bugs in each severity, total RC bugs...). The -i option makes it not keep "closed" bugs. Make sure you have the libnet-ldap-perl package installed. I'll accept requests for features, but I'm sure that alot of them I've already thought of and plan to implement. Ben
