Using Remote Queries With Bugzilla
These are just scratchpad notes from MarkLinimon.

Description
There are several programmatic ways to interface with Bugzilla. None is completely satisfactory.
Currently our Bugzilla instance only supports the XMLRPC interface. However, bugzilla.org has deprecated XMLRPC in favor of the REST interface. Contact Bugmeister if you wish to help.
devel/pybugz
pkg install devel/pybugz
- Simple to use
- Now maintained by bugmeister@
- Major disadvantage: only supports XMLPRC
ports-mgmt/freebsd-bugzilla-cli
pkg install freebsd-bugzilla-cli
Recommended by RebeccaCran
textproc/py-bugzillatools
- Supported both XMLRPC and REST
MarkLinimon at one time had done extensive work with this, including local modifications. TODO: dust it off and figure out the status
Slight disadvantage: it's dead. Or status = sleeping.
