   1 This package lets you access the GNU Bug Tracker from within Emacs.
   2
   3 It defines the command `M-x debbugs-gnu' for listing bugs, and the
   4 command `M-x debbugs-gnu-search' for bug searching.  The command
   5 `M-x debbugs-gnu-usertags' shows existing user tags on bugs.  In order
   6 to show bugs with known numbers, `M-x debbugs-gnu-bugs' could be used.
   7
   8 If you prefer the listing of bugs as TODO items of `org-mode', you
   9 could use the commands `M-x debbugs-org', `M-x debbugs-org-search' and
  10 `M-x debbugs-org-bugs' instead.
  11
  12 A minor mode `debbugs-browse-mode' let you browse URLs to the GNU Bug
  13 Tracker as well as bug identifiers prepared for `bug-reference-mode'.

  15 This package works by implementing basic functions to access a Debbugs
  16 SOAP server (see <http://wiki.debian.org/DebbugsSoapInterface>).  It
  17 implements the SOAP functions "get_bugs", "newest_bugs", "get_status",
  18 "get_usertag", "get_bug_log" and "search_est".  The SOAP function
  19 "get_versions" is not implemented (yet).

  21 You can connect to other debbugs servers by customizing the variable
  22 `debbugs-port'.
