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:
“However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
