The following might be convenient for Emacs developers who use Debian or
a Debian-based environment. The Debian packages `debian-el' and
`dpkg-dev-el' now have the Emacs commands:
`emacs-bug-get-bug-as-email':
To fetch a bug report archive and read it via email. Makes replying
easy. I use MH-E but other Email mail programs should work.
`emacs-bts-control'
To compose email messages to control@ with proper command completion.
`emacs-bug-web-bug'
(Trivial) Opens a bug number in a web page via browse-url.
I did the upload before I found the above information about the move to
debbugs.gnu.org so the current release (30.11-1) uses
emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com; should I change that to debbugs.gnu.org
immediately?
The commands are trivially built on top on the Debian BTS access
commands, and it would require a bit of work to split it out and remove
all the Debian quirks. I have not yet ported any menus (i.e. "Bugs" and
"Debian-Bug") although I am not even sure they are relevant.
Thanks,
Peter
