Hi, this too is very similar to our project ABRT, that we already have in Fedora, but from I’ve seen both projects have different set of functionality (e.g. we don’t have tui version and we don’t gather selinux settings info), so I think we should share some ideas and maybe “merge” these projects into one better tool.

[...] made a mistake tonight. Chris was telling me about a new command-line bugzilla client called boog. I threw it into Google and by mistake, perhaps out of habit, wrote ‘book’ instead of [...]

[...] Boog, the desktop bugzilla client for Fedora From the project page “Boog is a desktop and command line bugzilla client that aims to provide a very easy and simple interface for end users to file bug reports. We aim to built some intelligence into the client. We will collect the Fedora version and component version information, hardware details, log output, SELinux status and other details depending on the component the user chooses to file a bug report against.” [...]

Would it be nice to have the bugzilla new user registration process also embedded? Since, you say the entire thing started off by asking your dad to file a bug, I am sure most dads dont have redhat bugzilla accounts.

Another suggestion would be to look into the existing codebase of “reportbug” package in debian/ubuntu. Its been there for ages and you can quickly modify it to your needs.

Great stuff! Glad to see you’re using the bug information pages. Just a note: we (QA/BugZappers) do update those pages at least semi-regularly, so it might be a good idea for you to keep an eye on them so you can add relevant new bits to Boog :)

sankarshan: it won’t work unless you’re using a valid Red Hat BZ account, I don’t think. Our Bugzilla doesn’t allow bug submissions from non-registered email addresses.

Is it a good idea to mention that the email ID needs to be a valid one so as to enable a conversation on the bug. Else I anticipate a lot of valid bugs filed but going nowhere because of invalid email IDs.
