Bugzilla Automation - Downloading Logs

I have tons of bugs and most of them have logs attached. All of them called y2logs.tgz. I made a little system not to get lost in the heap of logs: ~/logs/$BUGNUMBER-$LOGFILENAME

Now, it is pretty tedious to type in the bug number when downloading the log file. I have finally managed to script it. It works like this:

buglog --install will install a Konqueror action (in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus).

In Konqueror, right-click an attachment, select Actions / Copy Bugzilla log. (A debugging xterm opens). The attachment is downloaded to ~/logs/$BUGNUMBER-$FILENAME.

Or just call buglog attachment-url

Enjoy and improve. Especially let me know if you know how to integrate this with other browsers than Konqueror.

See a previous post about bnc_curl, a required script to automate the iChain authentication in Novell Bugzilla.

Also thanks to our Bugzilla admins who have meanwhile built in automatic numbering of attachments. I still think my code is better - say NIH! :)

Download the script.
