debbugsconfig - copy basic debbugs configuration files from
templates
debbugsconfig will copy basic debbugs configuration files
from templates if the files do not already exist, and will also create BTS
user documentation in HTML and text. It should be run on installation and
whenever /etc/debbugs/config or /etc/debbugs/text are
changed.
debbugsconfig creates the following template configuration
files in $gConfigDir (/etc/debbugs by default):
- config
- General debbugs configuration file.
- text
- Longer messages output by debbugs.
- Maintainers
- Index of maintainers for each package. This will typically be
automatically generated.
- Maintainers.override
- Manual overrides for the maintainer index.
- pseudo-packages.description
- Descriptions of any entries in the system's maintainer index that do not
correspond to “real” packages. For example, the Debian
Project uses pseudo-packages for bugs against facilities such as the
Debian web site, the mailing list archives, and the bug tracking system
itself.
- sources
- Index of source packages corresponding to each package. This may be used
when several packages are produced from a single source, in which case the
bug tracking system will group them together with links in the web
front-end.
debbugsconfig creates the following template state files in
$gSpoolDir (/var/lib/debbugs/spool by default):
- nextnumber
- The file which records the tracking number that will be assigned to the
next incoming bug report.
- index.archive.realtime
- Real-time index of archived bugs. Created empty.
- index.db.realtime
- Real-time index of non-archived bugs. Created empty.
debbugsconfig creates the following documents in
$gWebDir (/var/lib/debbugs/www by default):
debbugsconfig was originally written by Darren Benham and
