Rationale

Watch links between bugs reported in Debian and bugs reported in “upstream” projects

Links between bugs were already created manually and stored in debbugs (tags forwarded­to)

Supported remote bugtrackers :• bugzilla (and issuezilla);• gnats;• launchpad;• mantis;• savane;• sourceforge trackers;• trac;• gforge.

Bugs lifecycle

Bug status “categories” supported in remote bugtrackers :• OPEN (any non-closed states, actually)• CLOSED : then, maybe analyse the “resolution”

- If WONTFIX : add also a tag + wontfix

- If DUPLICATE : fetch duplicate bug and iterate status comparison (at least for bugzilla for the moment)

LOCAL:FoundFORWARDED:OPEN

LOCAL:FoundFORWARDED:CLOSED

tags : fixed-upstream

Closed

tag + fixed­upstream

Reopened

tag ­ fixed­upstream

Summary

No discovery of bugs linked together (need already set URL as forwarded-to bug attribute)

No automatic bug status change in debbugsOnly tags bugsSend notitifications to maintainers and people

subscribed to the packageUp to the maintainer to close bugs accordingly, apply

fixes, etc.

Contribution from Helios through patches sent (public git tree)... many thanks to Sandro Tosi ;-)

May be extended/inspiring to address Debian + others
