Features
According to Ian Jackson, the Debian Bug tracking system has the following features:
- All input and manipulation of reports is done by email; developers do not need on-line web access or accounts on the host system.
- Outstanding, recently closed and other listings of reports are made available via a webserver, and by an email request bot.
- Each report has a separate e-mail address for submission of additional information.
- Web listings of bugs can be mirrored by e-mail or HTTP.
- Core functions do not require CGI scripts.
The scripts have been parameterised so that they can be used for other projects besides Debian. The system runs on Unix-like operating systems such as Unix and Linux.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Each reader discovers for himself that, with respect to the simpler features of nature, succeeding poets have done little else than copy his similes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
