See the forms on + the main BTS page at http://bugs.debian.org/ + + There is a mailserver which can send bug reports as plain text on + request. To use it send the word help as the sole contents of an email + to request@bugs.debian.org (the Subject of the message is ignored), or + read the instructions on the World Wide Web or in the file + bug-log-mailserver.txt. + +Accessing archived bug reports + + Each closed bug report is archived 28 days after the last message + relating to it is received and filed. This means that it is no longer + possible to access it or change anything about it using the control + and service bots. However, the reports are still accessible for + viewing. + + You can search the bug report archive using the WWW forms at + http://bugs.debian.org/, simply select the "archived bugs" option. + + Note that it doesn't contain the oldest closed bug reports, only those + after #40000, approximately. + +Accessing the raw bug data + + If you need to get hold of the raw data used by the bug tracking + system, you can mirror it using rsync from bugs-mirror.debian.org. The + relevant modules are bts-spool-db (for the active bug spool), + bts-spool-archive (for bugs that have been closed for a while and thus + archived), and bts-spool-index (for the bug index files). + + At the time of writing, the active spool is about 2.5GB and the + archived spool is about 10GB. If you only need a sample for testing + purposes, please consider downloading only part of the active spool + rather than the whole thing. + + Please do not rely on *.status files in the bug spools, as they are + obsolete, for compatibility purposes only, and will be removed at some + point in the future. Use the *.summary files instead. + _________________________________________________________________ + + Debian BTS administrators <owner@bugs.debian.org> + + Debian bug tracking system + Copyright © 1999 Darren O.
