Each message received at or sent by the bug processing system is logged
|
|
|
|
|
|
and made available in a number of ways.

The primary access method is to use the web pages. 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
|
2011-02-01 20:06:46 -01:00
|
|
|
|
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.
