NAME
Debbugs::Status -- Routines for dealing with summary and status files
SYNOPSIS
use Debbugs::Status;
DESCRIPTION
This module is a replacement for the parts of errorlib.pl which write and read status and summary files.
It also contains generic routines for returning information about the status of a particular bug
FUNCTIONS
readbug
readbug($bug_num,$location)
readbug($bug_num)
Reads a summary file from the archive given a bug number and a bug location. Valid locations are those
understood by "getbugcomponent"
read_bug
read_bug(bug => $bug_num,
location => 'archive',
);
read_bug(summary => 'path/to/bugnum.summary');
read_bug($bug_num);
A more complete function than readbug; it enables you to pass a full path to the summary file instead of
the bug number and/or location.
Options
bug -- the bug number
location -- optional location which is passed to getbugcomponent
summary -- complete path to the .summary file which will be read
lock -- whether to obtain a lock for the bug to prevent something modifying it while the bug has been
read. You must call "unfilelock();" if something not undef is returned from read_bug.
locks -- hashref of already obtained locks; incremented as new locks are needed, and decremented as locks
are released on particular files.
One of "bug" or "summary" must be passed. This function will return undef on failure, and will die if
improper arguments are passed.
split_status_fields
my @data = split_status_fields(@data);
Splits splittable status fields (like package, tags, blocks, blockedby, etc.) into arrayrefs (use
make_list on these). Keeps the passed @data intact using dclone.
In scalar context, returns only the first element of @data.
join_status_fields
my @data = join_status_fields(@data);
Handles joining the splitable status fields. (Basically, the inverse of split_status_fields.
Primarily called from makestatus, but may be useful for other functions after calling split_status_fields
(or for legacy functions if we transition to split fields by default).
lockreadbug
lockreadbug($bug_num,$location)
Performs a filelock, then reads the bug; the bug is unlocked if the return is undefined, otherwise, you
need to call unfilelock or unlockwritebug.
See readbug above for information on what this returns
lockreadbugmerge
my ($locks, $data) = lockreadbugmerge($bug_num,$location);
Performs a filelock, then reads the bug. If the bug is merged, locks the merge lock. Returns a list of
the number of locks and the bug data.
lock_read_all_merged_bugs
my ($locks,@bug_data) = lock_read_all_merged_bugs($bug_num,$location);
Performs a filelock, then reads the bug passed. If the bug is merged, locks the merge lock, then reads
and locks all of the other merged bugs. Returns a list of the number of locks and the bug data for all of
the merged bugs.
Will also return undef if any of the merged bugs failed to be read, even if all of the others were read
properly.
new_bug
my $new_bug_num = new_bug(copy => $data->{bug_num});
Creates a new bug and returns the new bug number upon success.
Dies upon failures.
makestatus
my $content = makestatus($status,$version)
my $content = makestatus($status);
Creates the content for a status file based on the $status hashref passed.
Really only useful for writebug
Currently defaults to version 2 (non-encoded rfc1522 names) but will eventually default to version 3. If
you care, you should specify a version.
writebug
writebug($bug_num,$status,$location,$minversion,$disablebughook)
Writes the bug status and summary files out.
Skips writing out a status file if minversion is 2
Does not call bughook if disablebughook is true.
unlockwritebug
unlockwritebug($bug_num,$status,$location,$minversion,$disablebughook);
Writes a bug, then calls unfilelock; see writebug for what these options mean.
VERSIONS
The following functions are exported with the :versions tag
addfoundversions
addfoundversions($status,$package,$version,$isbinary);
All use of this should be phased out in favor of Debbugs::Control::fixed/found
removefoundversions
removefoundversions($data,$package,$versiontoremove)
Removes found versions from $data
If a version is fully qualified (contains /) only versions matching exactly are removed. Otherwise, all
versions matching the version number are removed.
Currently $package and $isbinary are entirely ignored, but accepted for backwards compatibility.
splitpackages
splitpackages($pkgs)
Split a package string from the status file into a list of package names.
bug_archiveable
bug_archiveable(bug => $bug_num);
Options
bug -- bug number (required)
status -- Status hashref returned by read_bug or get_bug_status (optional)
version -- Debbugs::Version information (optional)
days_until -- return days until the bug can be archived
Returns 1 if the bug can be archived Returns 0 if the bug cannot be archived
If days_until is true, returns the number of days until the bug can be archived, -1 if it cannot be
archived. 0 means that the bug can be archived the next time the archiver runs.
Returns undef on failure.
get_bug_status
my $status = get_bug_status(bug => $nnn);
my $status = get_bug_status($bug_num)
Options
bug -- scalar bug number
status -- optional hashref of bug status as returned by readbug (can be passed to avoid rereading the bug
information)
bug_index -- optional tied index of bug status infomration; currently not correctly implemented.
version -- optional version(s) to check package status at
dist -- optional distribution(s) to check package status at
arch -- optional architecture(s) to check package status at
bugusertags -- optional hashref of bugusertags
sourceversion -- optional arrayref of source/version; overrides dist, arch, and version. [The entries in
this array must be in the "source/version" format.] Eventually this can be used to for caching.
indicatesource -- if true, indicate which source packages this bug could belong to (or does belong to in
the case of bugs assigned to a source package). Defaults to true.
Note: Currently the version information is cached; this needs to be changed before using this function in
long lived programs.
Returns
Currently returns a hashref of status with the following keys.
id -- bug number
bug_num -- duplicate of id
keywords -- tags set on the bug, including usertags if bugusertags passed.
tags -- duplicate of keywords
package -- name of package that the bug is assigned to
severity -- severity of the bug
pending -- pending state of the bug; one of following possible values; values listed later have
precedence if multiple conditions are satisifed:
pending -- default state
forwarded -- bug has been forwarded
pending-fixed -- bug is tagged pending
fixed -- bug is tagged fixed
absent -- bug does not apply to this distribution/architecture
done -- bug is resolved in this distribution/architecture
location -- db-h or archive; the location in the filesystem
subject -- title of the bug
last_modified -- epoch that the bug was last modified
date -- epoch that the bug was filed
originator -- bug reporter
log_modified -- epoch that the log file was last modified
msgid -- Message id of the original bug report
Other key/value pairs are returned but are not currently documented here.
bug_presence
my $precence = bug_presence(bug => nnn,
...
);
Returns 'found', 'absent', 'fixed' or undef based on whether the bug is found, absent, fixed, or no
information is available in the distribution (dist) and/or architecture (arch) specified.
Options
bug -- scalar bug number
status -- optional hashref of bug status as returned by readbug (can be passed to avoid rereading the bug
information)
bug_index -- optional tied index of bug status infomration; currently not correctly implemented.
version -- optional version to check package status at
dist -- optional distribution to check package status at
arch -- optional architecture to check package status at
sourceversion -- optional arrayref of source/version; overrides dist, arch, and version. [The entries in
this array must be in the "source/version" format.] Eventually this can be used to for caching.
max_buggy
max_buggy()
Options
bug -- scalar bug number
sourceversion -- optional arrayref of source/version; overrides dist, arch, and version. [The entries in
this array must be in the "source/version" format.] Eventually this can be used to for caching.
Note: Currently the version information is cached; this needs to be changed before using this function in
long lived programs.
buggy
buggy(bug => nnn,
found => \@found,
fixed => \@fixed,
package => 'foo',
version => '1.0',
);
Returns the output of Debbugs::Versions::buggy for a particular package, version and found/fixed set.
Automatically turns found, fixed and version into source/version strings.
Caching can be had by using the version_cache, but no attempt to check to see if the on disk information
is more recent than the cache is made. [This will need to be fixed for long-lived processes.]
indexdb
generate_index_db_line
my $data = read_bug(bug => $bug,
location => $initialdir);
# generate_index_db_line hasn't been written yet at all.
my $line = generate_index_db_line($data);
Returns a line for a bug suitable to be written out to index.db.
