Clone the bug

[Deepshikha Khandelwal]

Hi,

I'm looking at python-bugzilla way of cloning the bug.

Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks,
Deepshikha

There's no bugzilla API for bug cloning, it's entirely a web UI thing, 
so there's not a simple way to do it.

Jakub had patches in the past for this and I know he rebased them 
recently. Jakub would you mind attaching them here?

My opinion on making this part of the python-bugzilla API hasn't changed 
but maybe we can stuff this in a contrib/ script in the git repo. Maybe 
in time it can turn into a /usr/bin/bugzilla command but I'd like to see
how it goes as an add on script first. So Jakub if you're motivated that 
could be a way forward with this

Thanks,
Cole

Yes, please see the attachment. It's a patch for

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bugzilla/base.py

Please keep in mind that some fields are commented-out (not cloned),
because doing that creates too much noise on other products.

I'm not sure. As I mentioned, cloning every information in the BZ
creates blockers and upsets managers. 
We'd probably need a silent/loud cloning at least.
Let me think about it.

I hve versions of the code for both Ruby and Python. I am happy to post
them but I can not attribute where I got them from. If folks are ok, and
wont yell about possible plagirism, I am happy to share.

Sure if you have a standalone python script, doesn't hurt to send it 
over IMO
