updating needinfo flag with 2.0.0

[Dennis Kliban]

The following code used to work with python-bugzilla 1.2, but has stopped
working with 2.0.0.

BZ.update_flags(bug.id, [{ "name": "needinfo",
                                       "status": "?",
                                       "requestee": needinfo_email,
                                       "new": True}])

The new Bug.updateflags() method seems to only handle flags with a simple
status. How do I set a needinfo flag using 2.0.0?

Thanks,
Dennis

This was an incredibly annoying API change. The new syntax is:


   updates = bugzilla.build_update(\
       status = origbug.status,
       flags = [{"name": "some-flag", "status":
"+"},{"name": 
"some-other-flag", "status": "+"},{"name":
"red-flag", "status": 
"+"},{"name": "blue-flag", "status":
"?"}])
   bugzilla.update_bugs(newbug.bug_id,updates)

Indeed I didn't handle this well, particularly because build_update(flags=X)
wasn't even present before v2.0.0, so any flags users were forced to adjust
code. I revived update_flags in git as a wrapper around build_update +
update_bugs, semanticly it should be the same
