REPORTER-MANTISBT(1)

NAME
reporter-mantisbt - Reports problem to Mantis Bug Tracker.

SYNOPSIS

reporter-mantisbt [-vrf] [-c CONFFILE]... [-F FMTFILE] [-A FMTFILE2] -d DIR

Or:

reporter-mantisbt [-v] [-c CONFFILE]... [-d DIR] -t[ID] FILE...

Or:

reporter-mantisbt [-v] [-c CONFFILE]... -h DUPHASH

DESCRIPTION

The tool reads problem directory DIR. Then it logs in to MantisBT and tries to find an issue with the same duphash HEXSTRING in abrt_hash field.

If such issue is not found, then a new issue is created. Elements of DIR are stored in the issue as part of issue description or as attachments, depending on their type and size.

Otherwise, if such issue is found and it is marked as CLOSED DUPLICATE, the tool follows the chain of duplicates until it finds a non-DUPLICATE issue. The tool adds a new note to found issue.

The URL to new or modified issue is printed to stdout and recorded in reported_to element in DIR.

Option -t uploads FILEs to the already created issue on MantisBT site. The issue ID is retrieved from directory specified by -d DIR. If problem data in DIR was never reported to MantisBT, upload will fail.

Option -tID uploads FILEs to the issue with specified ID on MantisBT site. -d DIR is ignored.

Option -r sets the last url from reporter_to element which is prefixed with TRACKER_NAME to URL field. This option is applied only when a new issue is to be filed. The default value is ABRT Server"
