Creating ITP bugs semi-automatically
Hi,
if you want to create new packages its easier to send an ITP bug **AFTER** doing the packaging.
Than you can use the script:
https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/dh-r/blob/master/scripts/itp_from_debian_dir
(it was written for r-pkg team but works for every team).
It is not actually filing the bug but its printing all necessary information in your terminal.
You then call
reportbug --no-query-bts wnpp
add a **random** string for package name (I use "12") same for desription.
Than you are asked for "Additional addresses you want to CC" - use the **first line** of the output of the script
Then the editor will fire up.
You remove everything and copy-n-paste all the other output of the script starting from "Subject: ..."
Attention: Please make *very* sure that your text starts with "Subject"
as very first string on the very first line (if not you get a broken
Subject of your bug report (been there, done that).
Hope this helps
Andreas.
