Accessing active bug reports
Each message received at or sent by the bug processing system is logged
and made available in a number of ways.
The primary access method is to use the web pages. See the forms on the
main BTS page at https://bugs.debian.org/
There is a mailserver which can send bug reports as plain text on
request. To use it send the word help as the sole contents of an email
to request@bugs.debian.org (the Subject of the message is ignored), or
read the instructions on the World Wide Web or in the file
bug-log-mailserver.txt.
Accessing archived bug reports
Each closed bug report is archived 28 days after the last message
relating to it is received and filed. This means that it is no longer
possible to access it or change anything about it using the control and
service bots. However, the reports are still accessible for viewing.
You can search the bug report archive using the WWW forms at
https://bugs.debian.org/, simply select the "archived bugs" option.
Note that it doesn't contain the oldest closed bug reports, only those
after #40000, approximately.
Accessing the raw bug data
If you need to get hold of the raw data used by the bug tracking
system, you can mirror it using rsync from bugs-mirror.debian.org. The
relevant modules are bts-spool-db (for the active bug spool),
bts-spool-archive (for bugs that have been closed for a while and thus
archived), and bts-spool-index (for the bug index files).
At the time of writing, the active spool is about 2.5GB and the
archived spool is about 10GB. If you only need a sample for testing
purposes, please consider downloading only part of the active spool
rather than the whole thing.
Please do not rely on *.status files in the bug spools, as they are
obsolete, for compatibility purposes only, and will be removed at some
point in the future. Use the *.summary files instead.
