Usage

import-bug-from-debian [options] bug ...

import-bug-from-debian -h

Overview

import-bug-from-debian clones bugs from Debian's BTS into Launchpad. Each bug listed on the command line has its initial report re-filed against the same source package in Ubuntu. The Ubuntu bug is linked back to its Debian counterpart.

Each bug may be provided either as a bug number or URL.

Options

-b, --browserless: Don't open the bug in a browser at the end.

-h, --help: Display a help message and exit.

-l INSTANCE, --lpinstance=INSTANCE: Use the specified instance of Launchpad (e.g. "staging"), instead of the default of "production".

-p PACKAGE, --package=PACKAGE: Launchpad package to file bug against, if not the same source package name as Debian. Useful for importing removal bugs filed against ftp.debian.org.

--no-conf: Do not read any configuration files, or configuration from environment variables.
