SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

BUGS

       None known.

   get_usertag
            my %ut = get_usertag('don@donarmstrong.com','this-bug-sucks','eat-this-bug');
            my %ut = get_usertag('don@donarmstrong.com');

       Returns a hashref of bugs which have the specified usertags for the user set.

       In the second case, returns all of the usertags for the user passed.

   get_status
            my @statuses = get_status(@bugs);
            my @statuses = get_status([bug => 304234,
                                       dist => 'unstable',
                                      ],
                                      [bug => 304233,
                                       dist => 'unstable',
                                      ],
                                     )

       Returns an arrayref of hashrefs which output the status for specific sets of bugs.

       In the first case, no options are passed to Debbugs::Status::get_bug_status besides the bug number; in
       the second the bug, dist, arch, bugusertags, sourceversions, and version parameters are passed if they
       are present.

       As a special case for suboptimal SOAP implementations, if only one argument is passed to get_status and
       it is an arrayref which either is empty, has a number as the first element, or contains an arrayref as
       the first element, the outer arrayref is dereferenced, and processed as in the examples above.

       See Debbugs::Status::get_bug_status for details.

   get_bugs
            my @bugs = get_bugs(...);
            my @bugs = get_bugs([...]);

       Returns a list of bugs. In the second case, allows the variable parameters to be specified as an array
       reference in case your favorite language's SOAP implementation is craptacular.

       See Debbugs::Bugs::get_bugs for details on what "..." actually means.

   newest_bugs
            my @bugs = newest_bugs(5);

       Returns a list of the newest bugs. [Note that all bugs are *not* guaranteed to exist, but they should in
       the most common cases.]

   get_bug_log
            my $bug_log = get_bug_log($bug);
            my $bug_log = get_bug_log($bug,$msg_num);

       Retuns a parsed set of the bug log; this is an array of hashes with the following

        [{html => '',
          header => '',
          body    => '',
          attachments => [],
          msg_num     => 5,
         },
         {html => '',
          header => '',
          body    => '',
          attachments => [],
         },
        ]

       Currently $msg_num is completely ignored.

   binary_to_source
            binary_to_source($binary_name,$binary_version,$binary_architecture)

       Returns a reference to the source package name and version pair corresponding to a given binary package
       name, version, and architecture. If undef is passed as the architecture, returns a list of references to
       all possible pairs of source package names and versions for all architectures, with any duplicates
       removed.

       As of comaptibility version 2, this has changed to use the more powerful binary_to_source routine, which
       allows returning source only, concatenated scalars, and other useful features.

       See the documentation of Debbugs::Packages::binary_to_source for details.

   source_to_binary
            source_to_binary($source_name,$source_version);

       Returns a reference to an array of references to binary package name, version, and architecture
       corresponding to a given source package name and version. In the case that the given name and version
       cannot be found, the unversioned package to source map is consulted, and the architecture is not
       returned.

       (This function corresponds to Debbugs::Packages::sourcetobinary)

   get_versions
            get_version(package=>'foopkg',
                        dist => 'unstable',
                        arch => 'i386',
                       );

       Returns a list of the versions of package in the distributions and architectures listed. This routine
       only returns unique values.

       package -- package to return list of versions
       dist -- distribution (unstable, stable, testing); can be an arrayref
       arch -- architecture (i386, source, ...); can be an arrayref
       time -- returns a version=>time hash at which the newest package matching this version was uploaded
       source -- returns source/version instead of just versions
       no_source_arch -- discards the source architecture when arch is not passed. [Used for finding the
       versions of binary packages only.] Defaults to 0, which does not discard the source architecture. (This
       may change in the future, so if you care, please code accordingly.)
       return_archs -- returns a version=>[archs] hash indicating which architectures are at which versions.

       This function corresponds to Debbugs::Packages::get_versions

VERSION COMPATIBILITY

       The functionality provided by the SOAP interface will change over time.

       To  the  greatest  extent  possible,  we  will  attempt  to provide backwards compatibility with previous
       versions; however, in order to have backwards compatibility, you need to specify the version  with  which
       you are compatible.
