GUI xml-rpc bugzilla tool

[Alexander Larsson]

A couple of weeks ago jrb and I spent some time writing a GUI (pygtk)
frontend to the redhat bugzilla xml-rpc interfaces. It does local
caching of bug data, so after a possibly slow initial query bug work is
really fast.

Packages availible at:
http://people.redhat.com/~jrb/files/bugtool-0.1-1.noarch.rpm
http://people.redhat.com/~jrb/files/bugtool-0.1-1.src.rpm

At the moment you can only view bugs and add comments. The tool is
clearly not finished yet, but might still be of use to peopl.

A good thing, but not a solution as the XML-RPC stuff isn't even in
Bugzilla CVS yet, let alone what Fedora is running.

And on a similar note, `bugzuki` is a commandline tool using
the same interfaces...

see http://people.redhat.com/alikins/repo/RPMS/

no promises it works, but if something breaks, I promise to
at least think about possibly planning to try to look at
fixing it one day...

Bugzuki is interesting.  If the XML-RPC stuff becomes part of stock
Bugilla I would reallyu like to see it ship generally with Bugzilla.
I'd switch over the fedora-submit tool I'm planning to do to using it.

And for all those interested in the US.. the Godzuki movie seems to be
available at Walmarts far and wide right now. You too can see a proud
Godzilla help his son make smoke rings while a little child in shorts
beats up bullies.

Heh,

It pretty much scared me that I knew the origin of the name of this
utility...

...glad to know I'm not alone.
