This page tries to give an overview of the developing process of bughelper.

== Options ==

=== bughelper ===

||'''Option'''||'''Description'''||'''Comments'''||'''LP-Bug'''||'''Status'''||
||--sort||Option to sort output||Easy to provide, bugnumbers already has this option (MarkusKorn)||-||||
||-b||only search in given bug(s)||we should expand that option in a way that the argument can also be a list of bugs (MarkusKorn)|| || ||
||(--Aonly)||only searching attachments which matches a given RegEx||general parts of the necessary code are already available in the BugAttachment-class (MarkusKorn)||[[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bughelper/+bug/88521|#88521]]|| ||
||(--close)||option to look for a clue through open and closed bugs on the package specified|| ||[[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bughelper/+bug/81434|#81434]]|| (./) ||

=== bugnumbers ===

||'''Option'''||'''Description'''||'''Comments'''||'''LP-Bug'''||'''Status'''||
||--sort||Documentation||The sort option with all its options needs to be documented (MarkusKorn)||-||||
||--lc||last comment by user||Needs to be reviewed to get it into main (MarkusKorn)||[[https://launchpad.net/bughelper/+bug/79136|#79136]]|| (./) ||
||--count||change function to count comments from BugPage() to Bug()||Needs to be reviewed to get it into main (MarkusKorn)||[[https://launchpad.net/bughelper/+bug/93658|#93658]]|| (./) ||
||(--duplicates)||get the number of duplicates of a bug|| ||[[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bughelper/+bug/79140|#79140]]|| (./) ||

=== buginfo ===

=== bugxml ===

== General Features ==

=== Attachment-Cache ===

||'''Feature'''||'''Description'''||'''Comments'''||'''LP-Bug'''||'''Status'''||
||<rowspan=2> cleaning cache||1.) changing the path to file|| ||[[https://launchpad.net/bughelper/+bug/87448|#87448]]|| (./) ||
||2.) removing unused attachments||If the path to a attachment is in the old style after using bughelper for a bit, the old-unused attachment can be removed (MarkusKorn)||-|| (./) ||

=== User interface ===

||'''Feature'''||'''Description'''||'''Comments'''||'''LP-Bug'''||'''Status'''||
||simple Web Interface||Web interface provided by Web.py||I tried to built a simple Web-UI. Result: If we want to run bughelper as a server application Web.py is not the right solution. My attempt is still in my branch ~bughelper.r01 (MarkusKorn)||[[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bughelper/+bug/81291|#81291]]||||

=== bughelper ===

||'''Feature'''||'''Description'''||'''Comments'''||'''LP-Bug'''||'''Status'''||
||store output in data-structure||The output can be sorted by the clue-info|| ||[[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bughelper/+bug/88102|#88102]]||||
||log its searches||log or bookmark feature|| ||[[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bughelper/+bug/81288|#81288]]|| ||

=== Clue-Files ===

||'''Feature'''||'''Description'''||'''Comments'''||'''LP-Bug'''||'''Status'''||
||Completely support tags||use LP-tags in cluefiles|| ||[[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bughelper/+bug/88719|#88719]]|| (./) ||
||grep for package version||adding something like "fixed since" to clue-files|| ||[[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bughelper/+bug/84723|#84723]]||||

=== Server Application ===

||'''Feature'''||'''Description'''||'''Comments'''||'''LP-Bug'''||'''Status'''||
||Framework|| ||My favorite is [[http://pylonshq.com/|pylons]] (MarkusKorn)|| ||||
||Result caching|| || || || ||

=== PlugIn for Email-Client and IRC-Client ===

== General Improvements ==

=== python-launchpad-bugs ===

 * change the API, further descriptions in [[BugHelper/Dev/python-launchpad-bugs/API_changes| python-launchpad-bugs/API_changes]]
 * add delete_attachment method to the Bug-class

=== Output ===

 * The output of bugnumbers and buginfo has to be generated in an external class, this was we can easily add --format options like in bughelper (MarkusKorn)  (./)
 * use staticmethod() in format-modules (MarkusKorn)

=== RegEx/XPath ===

We should use XPath instead of RegEx to parse the LP-Pages.The patch provided in [[https://launchpad.net/bughelper/+bug/93499|Bug 93499]] ([[http://librarian.launchpad.net/6852479/xpath_v1.patch|xpath_v1.patch]]) is a first attempt (MarkusKorn)  (./) 

=== Code Cleanup ===

 * changing the type of buglists like all_bugs from set() to list() would make it possible to use the filter()-function. apport uses the set()-type buglist! (MarkusKorn)
 * Bug().info is currently a string, we should change it into list() to get more output-formar options and to get the possibility to sort the output (MarkusKorn)
 * Code needs to be documented (MarkusKorn)
 * use file() instead of open() to write/read local files (open() is "deprecated") (MarkusKorn)

== Documentation ==

The last update of the documentation (wiki/man-pages) was before release 0.1. As the tools are getting more and more complex with even more command-line options we maybe need a (alphabetically) order of the options in the help screen.(MarkusKorn)
