Package: reportbug Version: 12.0.0 Severity: wishlist I'd like to propose adding an option to skip loading configuration files (/etc/reportbug.conf and ~/.reportbugrc). The use case is for external programs that runs reportbug (e.g. debian-bug in elpa-debian-el) which provides its own command line switches and have an assumption on the output. When a user set some custom options, notably CC related ones, it may interfere with how X-Debbugs-Cc is handled and broke some of the assumptions of external tools (see https://bugs.debian.org/1032662).
With an option to disable loading any configuration files we ensure the default behavior so that external tools have a way to maintain some assumptions. There are probably other ways to assist external tools, but as some have been working in this way having this option may be an easier way to help. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-21-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 2.6.1 ii python3 3.11.2-1+b1 ii python3-reportbug 12.0.0 ii sensible-utils 0.0.17+nmu1 reportbug recommends no packages.
