More on mutt BTS integration
Recently i added some keyboard bindings to my mutt configuration to automatically download and open a
bug report log from the Debian Bug Tracking System. Thanks to this post i became aware of
the SOAP interface to the BTS which makes it quite easy to retrieve information from the BTS such as
downloading all bugs for a package and group them in a mbox file. The script can be downloaded here.
Using it with mutt works the same as with single bug reports. Set a variable in your muttrc file and source another one to execute
the script with the variable as parameter.
You may also want to do set duplicate_threads=no to have mails to control@b.d.o sorted correctly.
Of course, it can also be adjusted to download, say, all bugs with a certain tag or maintainer
address and have them opened as mbox in mutt. There are still some problems, though. The soap interface (or debbugs)
fails on some bugs and i wasn't able to figure out yet what's causing this errors.
