Hi everyone,

let me briefly introduce myself. I am Matej Habrnal and I work at Red Hat in
ABRT [1] (Automatic Bug Reporting Tool) team. ABRT is a set of tools to help
users detect and report application crashes. Its main purpose is to ease the
process of reporting an issue and finding a solution.

More than a year ago, I developed ABRT's plugin which allows report
detected crashes into MantisBT. Also, I sent some patches to MantisBT which
extended MantisBT SOAP API.

The main reason for developing the plugin was that CentOS7 uses
MantisBT as their bug tracking tool and there wasn't
a way to report crashes detect by ABRT to CentOS's Bug Tracker (MantisBT).

ABRT's MantisBT plugin is more then a year in use and CentOS7 users report
the crashes via the reporter directly to https://bugs.centos.org. All ABRT's
reports are prefixed with '[abrt]', so you can find them easily.

I wanted to let you there is a client tool which is capable to open bug reports in MantisBT.
The tool is packaged for CentOS7, RHEL7 and Fedora22 and higher and there are also some efforts to package it for openSUSE.

ABRT is an opensource project which lives on GitHub [2] and is installed on Fedora,
CentOS7 and RHEL7 by default. The sources of the mantisbt reporter are
placed in [3,4] (libreport is ABRT's library providing API for reporting).

Package which ships the mantisbt reporter is 'libreport-plugin-mantisbt'.
Some information how to configure MantisBT and the reporter itself can be found on
libreport GitHub's wiki [5].

Feel free to send an email to mailing list crash-***@lists.fedorahosted.org
or use IRC channel: #abrt @ irc.freenode.net to get more information.

Regards
Matej

Hello Matej,

Thanks for the information.

I had a quick look at your wiki, and found that you're referencing an
outdated release 1.3.0-beta.1 - In case you didn't know, beta.3 was
released in September, and it includes your SOAP API changes. You might
want to update your documentation accordingly.

Best regards
Damien
