This is a page about improving or modifying OpenHatch.

We call that "Hacking OpenHatch," and there is a whole category of pages about that.

We are updating our documentation system. This page is now included in our project package, and is automatically generated by sphinx at openhatch.readthedocs.org Bug tracker import code

-== One file per style of bug tracker ==
-Each ''style'' (like "Bugzilla", "Roundup", and so forth) of bug tracker has its code in mysite/customs/bugtrackers/''style''.py. We write tests in mysite/customs/tests.py for each bug tracker type.
-The Roundup code is instructive. Look at that in your favorite editor. You'll see ''class RoundupTracker''. Take a look -- the class's __init__() is built so that an instance has enough data that a call to grab() will start downloading bug data.
-The rest of that file is trivial subclasses that pre-fill the data to __init__(). We have one subclass per bug tracker we pull data from.
-== Then, once a day ==
-We have a cron job on the server that calls the code in <code>mysite/customs/management/commands/customs_daily_tasks.py</code> every night.
-== How to add a new bug tracker ==
-That means that if you want to add code pull data from a bug tracker we already support, you just have to write a very simple subclass. For Roundup, for example, add a few lines to the end of mysite/customs/bugtrackers/roundup.py. Then submit a patch.
-If you want to write support for an entirely new type of bug tracker, you'll have to write a new class. Before we merge it, we'll need some tests, but we can help you write the tests. Submit your patches as you go, and we can review/merge quickly!
