Script for massfiling bugs against ubuntu packages

Usage

massfile <path to instructions file> <path to list file>

Overview

massfile is a script for massfiling bugs against Ubuntu packages in Launchpad. It requires an instructions file describing the contents of the bug report and a list file which lists the packages which the bug will be filed against.

Templates for both files can be found in /usr/share/doc/ubuntu-dev-tools/examples.

Examples

massfile.instructions - file designating the contents of the bug report

subject: [UNMETDEPS] $pack has unmet dependencies
assignee:
status: confirmed
subscribers: motu
tags: unmetdeps
buglist-url: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=unmetdeps
text:
A run of
.
LC_ALL=C apt-cache -i unmet | grep ^Package | cut -d' ' -f2 | grep
-v dbgsym | sort -u | xargs apt-cache showsrc | grep ^Directory |
sed 's/Package //g' | grep verse | cut -d'/' -f4
indicates that the source package $pack has binary packages that are
not installable (on AMD64) at the moment.
.
Please have a look and make sure it's installable again.

massfile.list - file designating the packages affected

Each package should be listed on a new line as follows:

zope-quotafolder
