This holds several tools and code developped in the frame of the
HELIOS project's WP3 on bugtracker synchronisation.


Here one will find an improved version of the python btsutils package
that will process a local copy of the Debian bugtracker's database
(spool .summary files, much like what bts-link does), reusing code
from a modified version of the bts-link tool.

The original python btsutils code was developped as part of the
project at : http://bug-triage.alioth.debian.org/ and is available in
the Debian package python-btsutils

Here, debbugsloc.py overloads the debbugs class from btsutils to add
spool backend support.

The bts-link code needs to be patched to add reading of the following
bugs attributes : Summary, Severity, Submitter and Subject.
See my (Olivier Berger) git repo at
http://www-public.it-sudparis.eu/~berger_o/git/bts-link.git/ (git
clone http://www-public.it-sudparis.eu/~berger_o/git/bts-link.git/),
or in bts/interfaces.py, in BtsSpoolReport's constructor, add :

        if 'Summary' in spooldata:
            self.summary    = spooldata['Summary']
        else:
            self.summary    = ''
        self.severity   = spooldata['Severity']
        self.submitter  = spooldata['Submitter']
        self.subject  = spooldata['Subject']


The DBTS database mirror/spool must have been fetched locally (see
bts-link's bin/btslink-spoolindex.sh script) and a btslink.cfg file
needs to have been setup.

Example scripts :

* check-summary-soap.py : will demonstrate access through
  python-btsutils API through the spool

  To check all bugs open on twiki :

  # python check-summary-soap.py $(bts select package:twiki | xargs echo -n)

* npmdebbugs.py : will process bugs to output RDF version (turtle
  format) compatible with ontologies used by the nepomuk project (see
  http://nepomuk.linbox.org/wiki)
