Added interfaces/email/interactive/README and be-handle-mail options.
The README should give enough info to install and use the interface.
While I was writing it, I thought that be-handle-mail could use the
--be-dir, --tag-base, and --test options. generate_global_tags()
helps implement the --tag-base option.
I set up a unittest framework since checking is currently a
pipe-in-emails-by-hand sort of arrangement, which can be slow ;).
Currently only generate_global_tags() is tested.
I also restored "show" to ALLOWED_COMMANDS, since it seems to have
wandered off ;).

Users can mail in bug reports, comments, or control +requests, which will be committed to the served repository. +Developers can then pull the changes they approve of from the served +repository into their other repositories and push updates back onto +the served repository. + +For details about the Debian bug tracking system that inspired this +interface, see http://www.debian.org/Bugs . + +Architecture +============ + +In order to reduce setup costs, the entire interface can piggyback on +an existing email address, although from a security standpoint it's +probably best to create a dedicated user. Incoming email is filtered +by procmail, with matching emails being piped into be-handle-mail for +execution. + +Once be-handle-mail recieves the email, the parsing method is selected +according to the subject tag that procmail used grab the email in the +first place. There are three parsing styles: + Style Subject + creating bugs [be-bug:submit] new bug summary + commenting on bugs [be-bug:<bug-id>] human-specific subject + control [be-bug] human-specific subject +These are analagous to submit@bugs.debian.org, nnn@bugs.debian.org, +and control@bugs.debian.org respectively. + +Creating bugs +============= + +The create-style interface creates a bug whose summary is given by the +email's post-tag subject. The body of the email must begin with a +psuedo-header containing at least the "Version" field. Anything after +the pseudo-header and before a line starting with '--' is, if present, +attached as the bugs first comment. + + From jdoe@example.com Fri Apr 18 12:00:00 2008 + From: John Doe <jdoe@example.com> + Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:00:00 +0000 + Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 + Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit + Subject: [be-bug:submit] Need tests for the email interface. + + Version: XYZ + Severity: minor + + Someone should write up a series of test emails to send into + be-handle mail so we can test changes quickly without having to + use procmail. + + -- + Goofy tagline not included. + +Commenting on bugs +================== + +The comment-style interface appends a comment to the bug specified in +the subject tag. The the first non-multipart body is attached with +the appropriate content-type. In the case of "text/plain" contents, +anything following a line starting with '--' is stripped. + + From jdoe@example.com Fri Apr 18 12:00:00 2008 + From: John Doe <jdoe@example.com> + Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:00:00 +0000 + Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 + Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit + Subject: [be-bug:XYZ] Isolated problem in baz() + + Finally tracked it down to the bar() call.

Solution ideas? + + -- + Goofy tagline not included. + +Controlling bugs +================ + +The control-style consists of a list of allowed be commands, with one +command per line. Blank lines and lines beginning with '#' are +ignored, as well anything following a line starting with '--'. All the +listed commands are executed in order and their output returned. +Note that currently arguments are split on spaces, so + "John Doe" -> ['"John', 'Doe"'] +I'm thinking about how to fix this, but for the time being it's best +to avoid spaces. + + From jdoe@example.com Fri Apr 18 12:00:00 2008 + From: John Doe <jdoe@example.com> + Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:00:00 +0000 + Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 + Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit + Subject: [be-bug] I'll handle XYZ by release 1.2.3 + + assign XYZ John + status XYZ assigned + severity XYZ critical + target XYZ 1.2.3 + + -- + Goofy tagline ignored. + +Example emails +============== + +Take a look at my interfaces/email/interactive/examples for some +more examples. + +Procmail rules +============== + +The file _procmailrc as it stands is fairly appropriate for as a +dedicated user's ~/.procmailrc. It forwards matching mail to +be-handle-mail, which should be installed somewhere in the user's +path. All non-matching mail is dumped into /dev/null. Everything +procmail does will be logged to ~/be-mail/procmail.log. + +If you're piggybacking the interface on top of an existing account, +you probably only need to add the be-handle-mail stanza to your +existing ~/.procmailrc, since you will still want to recieve non-bug +emails. + +Note that you will probably have to add a + --be-dir /path/to/served/repo +option to the be-handle-mail invocation so it knows what repo to +serve. + +Multiple repos may be served by the same email address by adding +multiple be-handle-mail stanzas, each matching a different tag, for +example the "[be-bug" portion of the stanza could be "[projectX-bug", +"[projectY-bug", etc. If you change the base tag, be sure to add a + --tag-base "projectX-bug" +or equivalent to your be-handle-mail invocation. + +Testing +======= + +Send test emails in to be-handle-mail with something like + cat examples/blank | ./be-handle-mail -o -l - -a diff --git a/interfaces/email/interactive/be-handle-mail b/interfaces/email/interactive/be-handle-mail index 1feba92..a82f723 100755 --- a/interfaces/email/interactive/be-handle-mail +++ b/interfaces/email/interactive/be-handle-mail @@ -50,6 +50,8 @@ import send_pgp_mime import sys import time import traceback +import doctest +import unittest HANDLER_ADDRESS = u"BE Bugs <wking@thor.physics.drexel.edu>" _THIS_DIR = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)) @@ -57,12 +59,13 @@ BE_DIR = _THIS_DIR LOGPATH = os.path.join(_THIS_DIR, u"be-handle-mail.log") LOGFILE = None -SUBJECT_TAG_BASE = u"[be-bug" -SUBJECT_TAG_RESPONSE = u"%s]" % SUBJECT_TAG_BASE -SUBJECT_TAG_NEW = u"%s:submit]" % SUBJECT_TAG_BASE -SUBJECT_TAG_COMMENT = re.compile(u"%s:([\-0-9a-z]*)]" - % SUBJECT_TAG_BASE.replace("[","\[")) -SUBJECT_TAG_CONTROL = SUBJECT_TAG_RESPONSE +# Tag strings generated by generate_global_tags() +SUBJECT_TAG_BASE = u"be-bug" +SUBJECT_TAG_RESPONSE = None +SUBJECT_TAG_START = None +SUBJECT_TAG_NEW = None +SUBJECT_TAG_COMMENT = None +SUBJECT_TAG_CONTROL = None BREAK = u"--" NEW_REQUIRED_PSEUDOHEADERS = [u"Version"] @@ -70,8 +73,8 @@ NEW_OPTIONAL_PSEUDOHEADERS = [u"Reporter", u"Assign", u"Depend", u"Severity", u"Status", u"Tag", u"Target"] CONTROL_COMMENT = u"#" ALLOWED_COMMANDS = [u"assign", u"comment", u"commit", u"depend", u"help", - u"list", u"merge", u"new", u"open", u"severity", u"status", - u"tag", u"target"] + u"list", u"merge", u"new", u"open", u"severity", u"show", + u"status", u"tag", u"target"] AUTOCOMMIT = True @@ -321,9 +324,9 @@ class Message (object): Validate the subject line.
