Description Matthias Clasen 2006-07-07 14:50:31 UTC
When I use the "Report bug" menu item in evolution, it just
brings up an error dialog complaining that both --appname and --pid
are required. 

Ironically, this also breaks the desktop file thats shipped with
bug-buddy itself...

Comment 2 Brent Smith (smitten) 2006-07-08 02:30:23 UTC
The desktop issue is definitely a bug.   Bug-buddy should no longer appear in the menus, and thus should have NoDisplay=true

But bug-buddy's internals have changed quite a bit to support a less featureful interface to only handle crashers and allow submittal of bugs via XML-RPC.

I can't speak for the maintainer as far as the interface goes and why exactly it was decided to be changed, but the fact is that now there is no interface to support non-crasher bug reports means that the command line interface has to change.

        * src/bugzilla.h: Invoke bug-buddy only with --package=XXX command
        line to get it in non-crash/suggestion mode, so applications like
        evolution can invoke it from the help menu.
