I personally think it's easier to have the file generated for you. Other opinions? -- ~/.bughelper/config not created by sudo apt-get install bughelper https://launchpad.net/bugs/84489 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 84489] Re: ~/.bughelper/config not created by sudo apt-get install bughelper
However, note that running bughelper --gen-config when installing that package won't solve the issue for people running bughelper from bzr (i.e. Ubuntu Edgy and earlier), so a new step between 7 and 8 should be added anyway. Right? Just trying to make my point clear, since I don't care if it's --gen- config or manual editing. -- ~/.bughelper/config not created by sudo apt-get install bughelper https://launchpad.net/bugs/84489 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Isn't it possible to make the installation (of the deb package) gen it?

[Bug 84489] Re: ~/.bughelper/config not created by sudo apt-get install bughelper
Emilio: No, it's not possible. You install bughelper on a system for all users, but you have to create per-user configuration files. Alex: It will solve the problem, how would it not? With whatever commands you run bughelper, it will create the configuration on first run. I just thought it made more sense to have an option for that, instead of having a step between 7 and 8 that read run bughelper --help. :-) -- ~/.bughelper/config not created by sudo apt-get install bughelper https://launchpad.net/bugs/84489 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 84489] Re: ~/.bughelper/config not created by sudo apt-get install bughelper
Daniel: creating config on first run is good, I agree. Then, a new step between 7 and 8 that reads run bughelper --gen-config would solve the problem for everybody, agreed too. I was confused like Emilio and thought that bughelper --gen-config would be run during the package installation, which now it's obvious that was a misunderstanding on our part.

[Bug 84489] Re: ~/.bughelper/config not created by sudo apt-get install bughelper
OK, so going back to the original report and the wiki page ... Step 8 tells you to edit a file which does not exist before you can do step 9. But running step 9 would create the file :) Why don't we just pick some sensible defaults for the config file, like: Packages-Dir: ~/.bughelper/packages Local-Packages-Dir: ~/.bughelper/myclues Update-Interval: 24 Attachments-Cache: ~/.bughelper/attachments-cache which wil be generated the first time it is run anyway. That way step 8 can be eliminated completely from the docs and new-step-8 would let you get on with trying a clue. The Local-Packages-Dir can always be modified later and that can be documented further down on the wiki page. -- ~/.bughelper/config not created by sudo apt-get install bughelper https://launchpad.net/bugs/84489 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Apart from Local-Packages-Dir: it's what gets done on the first run. I'd suggest a visible location for the local packages dir, for example, it's ~/bzr/bughelper-data for me. It's a location that should not be set until people really use that dir. -- ~/.bughelper/config not created by sudo apt-get install bughelper https://launchpad.net/bugs/84489 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

OK, so we'll leave the functionality as it is.

The wiki documentation is wrong, the file is created when bugxml is executed the first time. To get it just call bugxml once without arguments. Since this error is also in /usr/share/doc/bughelper/adding- cluefiles.txt the bug should still be open. -- ~/.bughelper/config not created by sudo apt-get install bughelper https://launchpad.net/bugs/84489 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 84489] Re: ~/.bughelper/config not created by sudo apt-get install bughelper
It does not need to be 'bugxml', but 'bughelper' will work also. Maybe we should add a bughelper --gen-config command or something, that does a noop. ** Changed in: bughelper (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed ** Also affects: bughelper (upstream) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Changed in: bughelper (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: bughelper (upstream) Importance: Undecided = Medium Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed Target: None = 0.1 ** Tags added: bitesize commandline documentation -- ~/.bughelper/config not created by sudo apt-get install bughelper https://launchpad.net/bugs/84489 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 84489] Re: ~/.bughelper/config not created by sudo apt-get install bughelper
I guess the bughelper --gen-config should be added between steps 7 and 8 in WritingClueFiles, so it will work for bughelper package and for people running from the bzr branch for the first time. A simpler approach is to add a new step that describes in detail the ~/.bughelper/config contents, so there's no need to run bughelper --gen-config and edit that file later. Since people need to edit the config file, I guess they won't argue if they have to cutpaste its contents from the documentation.
