Description:
reportbug - reports bugs in the Debian distribution
Closes: 294954 295997 322523 330339 379919 382486 383024
Changes:
reportbug (3.26) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* The "don't be more clever than the patch-writer" release.
* Instead of importing uis, search sys.path for them.
.
reportbug (3.25) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Remove superfluous postinst and prerm scripts; python-central takes
care of this now. (Closes: #383024)
.
reportbug (3.24) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Apply updated patch from Phillip Kern to work with the GNOME interface
(which should appear in experimental soon).
.
reportbug (3.23) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Fix reportbug_ui_text.get_multiline(). (Closes: #382486)
* Document that handling scripts must use #!/bin/bash to use getkey and
yesno--this has always been the case since the days of bug, but never was
documented anywhere. (Closes: #294954)
* Document pseudo-packages (and how to see the list recognized by
reportbug) in reportbug(1). (Closes: #379919)
I still feel that the WNPP pseudo package is inadequately documented for
a non-developer wishing to request a new package (in my case it was a
new MIDI plug-in for xmms).
Perhaps, in addition to "21 wnpp Work-Needing and Prospective Packages
list" a line or 2 description of examples such as "request a new
package" be included, and then fix the text presented one selects
"other" then the "wnpp" option so that one doesn't get intimidated by
"yes I'm a developer and know what I'm doing".
Regards,
Arthur.
* Request a version number if reporting a bug against a source package.
(Closes: #330339)
* Call ehlo() after starttls(), as the smtplib documentation says we should.
(Closes: #322523)
* If a smtphost is specified in offer_configuration, ask for smtpuser.
(Closes: #295997)
