This could do:
(snippet from a Makefile)
bugs:
[ -f bugs.txt ] && cp bugs.txt bugs.bak.txt
/usr/bin/lynx -dump http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/ma/XXXXXXXXXXX.html
>bugs.txt
cat bugs.txt | perl -ne 'print $$1 ."\n" if /\#(\d+):/' >BUGS
sh download-bugs.sh
With download-bugs.sh being:
-----------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# Downloads bugs to text files
DIR=bugs-offline
for i in `cat BUGS` ; do
# if [ ! -f $DIR/bug-$i.txt ]; then
# else
# echo "Bug #$i already downloaded"
# fi
# Not done since info on the bug might change..
[ ! -d $DIR ] && mkdir $DIR
echo "Downloading bug #$i"
/usr/bin/lynx --dump "http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=$i&repeatmerged=yes";
>$DIR/bug-$i.txt
done
-------------------------------------
Of course you have to change the URL in the Makefile to the one of _your_
bugs.
Then you can just 'make bugs' and you will end with a directory
('bugs-offline') full of your own bugs :-)
