"ticket" port command?!

[MK-MacPorts at techno.ms]

Hi devs,

wouldn’t it be nice to have a “ticket” command for port?!

I am wondering whether this has been already suggested or not…


I am imagining the following:



1) Something like
—
$ port ticket foo
—
could open up the web browser and show all trac tickets for port foo.



2) Even better would be - in case of a problem with a specific port - the
   ability to file a ticket from the command line using something like
—
$ port ticket -c foo
—
This would extract the currently installed version of foo on the local
machine, open a browser and pre-fill the trac form for filing a new
ticket [1] with the port's name, summary = "name & port version", and
port owner.



3) An issue query like this
—
$ port ticket -i 43617
—
could send the browser to https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43617



4) Adding the main.log file for the port in question could happen like this:
—
$ port ticket -l foo
$ # if it’s a bigger file zip it before transmission, perhaps capital ‘L'
$ port ticket -L foo
—



I remember there has been discussion about a trac-plugin which could
take care of properly populating trac’s data cells on ticket creation,
but due to license issues it hasn’t gone forward unfortunately [2].


Wouldn’t be a “ticket” port command an alternative/complementary approach?
