ACCESSING BUG REPORTS IN THE TRACKING SYSTEM LOGS Each message received at or sent by the bug processing system is logged and made available in a number of ways. The primary copy of the logs is on the World Wide Web at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/iwj10/debian-bugs/ and is mirrored at http://www.cps.cmich.edu/~streeter/debian-bugs/. Both plain-text and HTML versions are available by FTP from ftp.cps.cmich.edu in /pub/debian/debian-bugs/. Bug reports are kept until the relevant bug is marked as `done' and no messages have been received about it for 28 days. Messages sent to debian-bugs-done which didn't have the special Subject line tag are kept for two or three weeks. A mailserver is available. Here are the instructions: This is the help for Carl's Debian Buglist mail interface. Send a message to streeter@debian.cps.cmich.edu. The message body is ignored. Put your command in the subject field. Valid commands are: help send help Sends this help message send access Sends the full instructions on accessing bug reports via mail, WWW, and ftp. send index send outstanding Sends the full list of outstanding bug reports. send summary Sends the summary list of outstanding bugs. send maint-info send instructions Sends the instructions on using the web interface. send reporting Sends the instructions on reporting a bug. send ### send bug ### send bug### Send the numbered bug report requested. Be careful, as anything unrecognized that doesn't begin with "send" will end up in my inbox. Please send all comments, corrections, better usage messages, bug reports (bugs on the bug reporter?), and other stuff to Carl Streeter . _________________________________________________________________ Ian Jackson / iwj10@thor.cam.ac.uk. 8th September 1995.
