Dependencies

RC-Zenity depends on libsoap-lite-perl and zenity. It could use whiptail with some modifications, see emrecent in emdebian-tools for an example of dual whiptail | zenity support.


Description

Simple script to collate some data about an RC bug.

Initially loads a zenity text entry window asking for a bug number. The bug is queried, data about the package is collated and displayed in a new zenity question window. Click Cancel to review a different bug, click OK to load the PTS and the bug report in 'sensible-browser' and continue reviewing bugs.

Click Cancel in the bug number entry dialog to end the program.

(Although designed for RC bugs, any bug can actually be reviewed.)

It may be helpful to ensure that the BROWSER environment variable is set to support opening new URLs in new tabs if your chosen browser supports tabs. e.g. in your ~/.bashrc export BROWSER="epiphany-browser -n"


Options

RC-Zenity only takes one option - a bug number.
