NAME

       massfile - script for massfiling bugs against Ubuntu packages

SYNOPSIS

       massfile <path to instructions file> <path to list file>

DESCRIPTION

       massfile  is  a  script  for massfiling bugs against Ubuntu packages in
       Launchpad. It requires an instructions file describing the contents  of
       the  bug  report and a list file which lists the packages which the bug
       will be filed against.

       Templates for both files can  be  found  in  /usr/share/doc/ubuntu-dev-
       tools/examples.

EXAMPLES

       massfile.instructions - file designating the contents of the bug report
