💖 local-debbugs — bestie edition 💖

okay so. local-debbugs is literally how you use a local mirror of debbugs. that's the whole vibe. you get your very own bugs, living at your place, no cap. 🐛✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

local-debbugs [options]

Options:
 --mirror, -M update local mirror
 --daemon, -D start the daemon
 --search, -S run a search
 --show, -s show a bug
 --debug, -d debugging level (Default 0)
 --help, -h display this help
 --man, -m display manual

like the options are right there in the synopsis too, because we're giving you the whole snack at once. 💅

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

one bullet per flag, go off:

  • --mirror, -M — updates your local mirror of debbugs bugs. it's giving "go get the bugs, all of them." 🦋
  • --daemon, -D — starts up the daemon on the configured local port, so it can serve up bugs that you've previously retrieved. main character energy for sure. 👑
  • --search, -S — makes the running daemon show the pkgreport.cgi page that corresponds to your search, by invoking sensible-browser and an appropriate url. yes bestie, it opens the browser for you. 🫶
  • --show, -s — makes the running daemon show the bugreport.cgi page for your bug, by invoking sensible-browser and an appropriate url. same energy, different cgi. 💖
  • --port, -p — the port the daemon is running on (or will be running on, if it's not a thing yet 🙈). defaults to the value of the currently running daemon, or the value in the configuration file, or 8080 if literally nothing is set. so many fallbacks, so considerate. ⭐
  • --bugs-to-get — the file that contains the set of bugs to get. defaults to ~/.debbugs/bugs_to_get. iconic default. 🎀
  • --bug-site — hostname for a site that's running a debbugs install. defaults to bugs.debian.org. 🌈
  • --bug-mirror — hostname for a site running an rsyncable mirror of the debbugs install above. defaults to bugs-mirror.debian.org. the rsyncable part is lowkey the whole point. 🔥
  • --debug, -d — debug verbosity. turn it up if you wanna see the tea. 🍓
  • --help, -h — displays brief useage information. (yes, the original says "useage", we do not fix the vibe here, we respect the vibe.) 💜
  • --man, -m — displays this manual. hi, you're literally reading it. 😭

that's the whole thing, bestie — no notes, no skips, every flag accounted for. 🫶
