-@node Introduction
-@chapter Introduction
-@cindex introduction
-
-rt-liberation is a GNU/Emacs package for working with the Request
-Tracker (henceforth abbreviated as just ``RT'') software from Best
-Practical Solutions. RT has an interactive Web interface, a command
-line interface (the ``RT CLI''), and a REST interface. rt-liberation
-uses the RT REST interface to communicate with the RT server.
-
-rt-liberation allows sending search queries to the RT server, browsing
-the resulting tickets, viewing the tickets' contents and performing
-operations on the tickets.
-
-
-@c --------------------------------------------------
-@node Installation
-@chapter Installation
-@cindex installation
-
-rt-liberation is available via GNU ELPA.
-
-If you install rt-liberation manually instead you'll need to tell
-Emacs where to find it, and tell Emacs to load the package:
-
-@lisp
-(add-to-list 'load-path "/PATH/TO/rt-liberation/")
-@end lisp
-
-@lisp
-(require 'rt-liberation)
-@end lisp
-
-
-rt-liberation needs to be configured in your ~/.emacs, an ~/.rt-liber
-file, or similar.
-
-Tell rt-liberation where to find the RT server's REST interface:
-
-@lisp
-(setq rt-liber-rest-url "rt.example.org")
-@end lisp
-
-rt-liberation can issue a command to ``take'' a ticket (that is,
-assign it to yourself). For this the variable @var{rt-liber-username}
-must be set:
-
-@lisp
-(setq rt-liber-username "someuser")
-@end lisp
-
-rt-liberation can also launch a Web browser to visit a ticket. For
-that to work the base URL needs to be set in
-@var{rt-liber-base-url}. For example:
-
-(setq rt-liber-base-url "https://rt.foo.org/")
-
-
-@c --------------------------------------------------
-@node Queries
-@chapter Queries
-@cindex queries
-
-A typical RT server is meant to manage a large amount of tickets. Much
-more that would be convenient to view all at once. Instead queries are
-used to view only a subset of the tickets on the server.
-
-rt-liberation has its own Sexp-based query language which maps to RT's
-TicketSQL language.
-
-@menu
-* Query Compiler:: Compiling Emacs Lisp to TicketSQL.
-* Query Language:: A description of the Sexp-based language.
-@end menu
-
-
-@c --------------------------------------------------
-@node Query Compiler
-@section Query Compiler
-@cindex query compiler
-
-In order to browse and view tickets a list of needs to be requested
-from the RT server. Typically the tickets answer some kind of
-criteria, for example ``tickets no older than a week owned by me which
-have \``foobar\'' in their subject line''. In RT these criteria are
-formulated with ``TicketSQL'' queries; a structured query language
-specific to RT.
-
-rt-liberation provides a query compiler function to compile Emacs Lisp
-symbolic expressions into TicketSQL. The query compiler supports a
-number of TicketSQL tokens.
-
-
-@c --------------------------------------------------
-@node Query Language
-@section Query Language
-@cindex query language
-
-rt-liberation's Sexp-based query language covers a portion of the
-TicketSQL language. Here are some of the supported TicketSQL tokens:
-Boolean tokens as a means of combining query subsections: ``and'', ``or'',
-``not''. LIKE attribute tokens: ``subject'', ``content''.
-
-For example here is a query with both Boolean and LIKE tokens:
-
-@lisp
-(rt-liber-compile-query
- (and (queue "bugs")
- (content "gnu")))
-
-==> "Queue = 'bugs' AND Content LIKE 'gnu'"
-@end lisp
-
-We can also express negation (note that the compiler produces "!=" and
-"NOT LIKE" for negation depending on the context):
-
-@lisp
-(rt-liber-compile-query
- (and (queue "bugs")
- (not (owner "Nobody"))
- (not (content "sprigz"))
- (status "new")))
-
-==> "Queue = 'licensing' AND Owner != 'Nobody' \
- AND Content NOT LIKE 'sprigz' AND Status = 'new'"
-@end lisp
-
-Attribute tokens which match an attribute to a specific field such as:
-``owner'', ``status'' and ``queue''. Temporal tokens which limit the search
-results to tickets within a certain time interval: ``created'' and
-``lastupdated''. Note that temporal keywords such as ``created'' always
-accept two arguments: BEFORE and AFTER. When either BEFORE or AFTER
-aren't needed, use NIL instead.
-
-One of the advantages of being able to express the TicketSQL queries
-as Emacs Lisp is to be able to express queries using Emacs Lisp
-functions.
-
-Here is a slightly more involved example to illustrate:
-
-@lisp
-(rt-liber-compile-query
- (and (queue "bugs")
- (owner "me@@myaddress.com")
- (status "open")
- (lastupdated nil
- (format-time-string
- "%Y-%m-%d"
- (seconds-to-time
- (- (time-to-seconds (current-time))
- (* 60 60 24 7)))))))
-
-==> "Queue = 'bugs' AND Owner = 'me@@myaddress.com' AND Status = 'open' AND LastUpdated > '2009-03-30'"
-@end lisp
-
-
-Here is an example of how the ticket browser and compiler can be used
-in function calls:
-
-@lisp
-(defun rt-liber-display-ticket (ticket-id)
- "Display ticket with TICKET-ID in the ticket-browser."
- (interactive "MTicket ID: ")
- (rt-liber-browse-query
- (rt-liber-compile-query
- (and (queue "complaints")
- (id ticket-id)))))
-@end lisp
-
-
-@c --------------------------------------------------
-@node Ticket Browser
-@chapter Ticket Browser
-@cindex ticket browser
-
-The ticket browser is a special buffer which provides a convenient
-interface to the results of a server query. The ticket browser can be
-started by invoking: (rt-liber-browse-query QUERY), where QUERY is a
-TicketSQL query. The TicketSQL query can be entered manually as a
-string or as the return value of the query compiler.
-
-@deffn Function rt-liber-browse-query QUERY &optional NEW
-Runs QUERY against the server and launches the browser.
-
-If NEW is non-nil then the query results will be displayed in a new
-buffer, otherwise the query results will override the contents of the
-existing ticket browser buffer. If NEW is a string then that will be
-the name of the new buffer.
-@end deffn
-
-The TicketSQL query can be the return value of the query compiler. For
-example:
-
-@lisp
-(rt-liber-browse-query
- (rt-liber-compile-query
- (and (queue "bugs")
- (content "gnu")))
-@end lisp
-
-
-Since the return value of the query compiler is just a TicketSQL
-string, the following is equivalent:
-
-@lisp
-(rt-liber-browse-query "Queue = 'bugs' AND Content LIKE 'gnu'")
-@end lisp
-
-The ticket browser defines a number of commands:
-
-@table @kbd
-@item q
-@kindex q (ticket browser)
-@findex rt-liber-browser-mode-quit
-Bury the ticket browser buffer.
-
-@item n
-@kindex n (ticket browser)
-@findex rt-liber-next-ticket-in-browser
-Move point to the next ticket.

-Refresh the contents of the browser buffer.
-
-@item G
-@kindex G (ticket browser)

-@node Ticket Browser Display
-@section Ticket Browser Display
-@cindex ticket browser display function
-
-The ticket browser displays the tickets in the browser by calling
-@dfn{rt-liber-ticketlist-browser-redraw-f} which can be changed and
-customized. Any implementation of
-@dfn{rt-liber-ticketlist-browser-redraw-f} must leave point at the end
-of the ticket text.
-
-The ticket data itself can be displayed using rt-liberation ticket
-format string %-sequences:
-
-@table @asis
-@item %i
-ID number of the ticket in the RT database.
-@item %s
-Subject line.
-@item %c
-Ticket creation time. The format to display the time is specified in
-the variable @var{rt-liber-browser-time-format-string}.
-@item %S
-Ticket status (``open'', ``new'' etc.)
-@item %r
-Whether the ticket is resolved.
-@item %R
-Requestor/s
-@item %C
-Creator of the ticket.
-@item %o
-Owner of the ticket.
-@item %q
-The queue originating the ticket.
-@item %p
-The numerical priority of the ticket
-@end table
-
-Here is an example implementation of
-@dfn{rt-liber-ticketlist-browser-redraw-f} showing the use of the
-%-sequences. Note the use of text properties to add color to ticket
-text. The use of text properties as opposed to font-locking is meant
-to ease customization because otherwise any change in ticket display
-would break the font-locking regular expressions.
-
-@lisp
-(defun rt-liber-ticketlist-browser-redraw-f (ticket)
- "Display TICKET."
- (insert (rt-liber-format "[%c] %i" ticket))
- (add-text-properties (point-at-bol)
- (point-at-eol)
- '(face rt-liber-ticket-face))
- (newline)
- (insert (rt-liber-format " [%S] %s" ticket))
- (newline)
- (insert (rt-liber-format " %o <== %R" ticket)))
-@end lisp
-
-The function @dfn{rt-liber-high-priority-p} can be used to apply a
-different face or text to a ticket if it is high priority. A ticket is
-considered high priority if its value is strictly higher than
-@var{rt-liber-browser-priority-cutoff}
-
-
-@c --------------------------------------------------
-@node Ticket Browser Sorting
-@section Ticket Browser Sorting
-@cindex ticket browser sorting
-
-The tickets in the browser are displayed by default in reverse
-chronological order. Ticket sorting is done by a call to
-@dfn{rt-liber-browser-default-sorting-function}.
-
-Other sorting orders can be used by binding
-@dfn{rt-liber-browser-default-sorting-function} to a different
-function. To ease writing such functions rt-liberation provides two
-predicate functions to perform comparisons between ticket objects:
-
-@defun rt-liber-lex-lessthan-p a b field
-Return true if A is lexicographically less than B in FIELD.
-
-Here is an example of sorting tickets lexicographically by owner name
-using @dfn{rt-liber-lex-lessthan-p} (note that you can feed
-@dfn{rt-liber-lex-lessthan-p} a date/time string and it will sort it
-just fine except that it wouldn't make any sense):
-
-@lisp
-(defun rt-liber-sort-by-owner (ticket-list)
- "Sort TICKET-LIST lexicographically by owner."
- (rt-liber-sort-ticket-list
- ticket-list
- #'(lambda (a b)
- (rt-liber-lex-lessthan-p a b "Owner"))))
-@end lisp
-
-@end defun
-
-@defun rt-liber-time-lessthan-p a b field
-Return t if A is chronologically less than B in FIELD.
-
-Here is an example of sorting tickets lexicographically by owner name
-using @dfn{rt-liber-time-lessthan-p} (note that feeding
-@dfn{rt-liber-time-lessthan-p} anything but a date/time string, in
-this case ``Created'' contains a date, will result in an error being
-signaled).
-
-@lisp
-(defun rt-liber-sort-by-time-created (ticket-list)
- "Sort TICKET-LIST in reverse chronological order."
- (reverse
- (rt-liber-sort-ticket-list
- ticket-list
- #'(lambda (a b)
- (rt-liber-time-lessthan-p a b "Created")))))
-@end lisp
-
-@end defun
-
-
-@c -------------------------------------------------------------------
-@node Ticket Browser Filtering
-@section Ticket Browser Filtering
-@cindex ticket browser filtering filter
-
-The Ticket Browser can also filter out (that is, not display) certain
-tickets based on particular criteria. This probably shouldn't be used
-instead of a properly formed RT query, but when used in conjunction
-with correctly formulated queries it becomes a powerful tool.
-
-During ticket display processing the Ticket Browser will call the
-function pointed to by @var{rt-liber-browser-default-filter-function}
-on each ticket, passing the function the ticket alist as a single
-argument. The function is set by default to
-@dfn{rt-liber-default-filter-f}, which is a function which will
-display all tickets and filter none.
-
-If any tickets are filtered, the Ticket Browser will display the
-filtered ticket count at the bottom ticket listing.
-
-Here is a simple example of how to filter out all of the tickets which
-have a status of ``deleted''.
-
-First we define a custom filter function. Note how it accepts a single
-argument, which is the ticket alist, and returns nil if the ticket is
-to be filtered.
-
-@lisp
-(defun rt-liber-browser-deleted-filter (ticket)
- (not
- (and ticket
- (string= (cdr (assoc "Status" ticket))
- "deleted"))))
-@end lisp
-
-Then we assign that function to be our default filtering function:
-
-@lisp
-(setq rt-liber-browser-default-filter-function
- 'rt-liber-browser-deleted-filter)
-@end lisp
-
-
-@c -------------------------------------------------------------------
-@node Multiple Ticket Browsers
-@section Multiple Ticket Browsers
-@cindex ticket browser multiple buffer
-
-It is sometimes useful to rename the ticket browser buffer to
-something more informative than the default
-@var{rt-liber-browser-buffer-name}, especially if there are multiple
-ticket browsers.
-
-Changing a ticket browser's name can be done normally with
-`rename-buffer', but it is also possible to name the ticket browser
-when it is created. In the following example two ticket browser
-buffers will be created displaying the query results and named
-``*updated by supervisor*'' and ``*new tickets*'' respectively:
-
-@lisp
-(defun rt-liber-daily-rounds ()
- (interactive)
-
- (rt-liber-browse-query
- (rt-liber-compile-query
- (and (queue "complaints")
- (owner "lem.e.tweakit")
- (status "open")
- (lastupdatedby "molly.manager")))
- "*updated by supervisor*")
-
- (rt-liber-browse-query
- (rt-liber-compile-query
- (and (queue "complaints")
- (owner "Nobody")
- (status "new")))
- "*new tickets*"))
-@end lisp
-
-
-@c --------------------------------------------------
-@node Ticket Viewer
-@chapter Ticket Viewer
-@cindex ticket viewer
-
-The ticket viewer is an interface for viewing the contents of a
-ticket. It provides font-locking to make reading the contents easier
-via @var{rt-liber-viewer-font-lock-keywords} and a number of
-key-bindings.
-
-The ticket viewer provides key-bindings to help compose emails to send
-to the RT email interface. The key-bindings for composing email
-described below are generic, what actually happens when you invoke
-them depends on the email-backend system you have installed into
-rt-liberation. @file{rt-liberation-gnus.el} provides integration with
-Gnus, @xref{Gnus Integration}.
-
-Setting @var{rt-liber-jump-to-latest} to `t' will cause the viewer to
-automatically scroll to the latest comment in a ticket when that
-ticket is visited. By default @var{rt-liber-jump-to-latest} is set to
-`nil'.
-
-When in the ticket viewer buffer, invoking
-@dfn{rt-liber-viewer-take-ticket} will ``take'' the ticket.
-
-@table @kbd
-
-@item q
-@kindex q (ticket viewer)
-@findex rt-liber-viewer-mode-quit
-Bury the ticket viewer buffer.
-

-@end defopt
-@defopt rt-liber-gnus-comment-address
-@var{rt-liber-gnus-comment-address} is the email address which is
-configured in the RT server email interface for adding a comment under
-the ticket in question.
-@end defopt
-@defopt rt-liber-gnus-subject-name
-@var{rt-liber-gnus-subject-name} is a string, typically included at

-
-The functions in @file{rt-liberation-update.el} help keep up with
-updates to the ticket database. To enable the feature, `require' it
-after loading rt-liberation:
-
-@lisp
-(require 'rt-liberation-update)
-@end lisp
-
-Then set @var{rt-liber-update-default-queue} to be the name of the
-queue to watch for updates. For example:
-
-@lisp
-(setq rt-liber-update-default-queue "complaints")
-@end lisp
-
-@defun rt-liber-update &optional no-update
-@code{rt-liber-update} is an interactive function which runs a query
-against the RT server asking for the tickets which have been updated
-since the time @code{rt-liber-update} was last run (each time it runs,
-it leaves a time-stamp). If no time-stamp is found, for instance when
-you run @code{rt-liber-update} for the first time, today's date is
-used.
-
-With the NO-UPDATE prefix, @code{rt-liber-update} will not update the
-time-stamp so that the next invocation will produce the same result.

-@node Batch Operations
-@chapter Batch Operations
-@cindex Batch Operations
-
-The extension @file{rt-liberation-multi.el} implements performing
-batch operations on groups of tickets. It works in two stages: First
-mark an arbitrary number of tickets within the same buffer then call a
-batch operation function on them. The batch operation functions work
-the same way as function which work on single tickets only that they
-iterate through all of the marked tickets.
-
-To enable batch operations first load @file{rt-liberation-multi.el}:
-
-@lisp
-(require 'rt-liberation-storage)
-@end lisp
-
-@table @kbd
-@item M
-@kindex M (ticket browser)
-@findex rt-liber-mark-ticket-at-point
-Mark the ticket at point for future action. If the ticket at point is
-already marked then unmark it.
-@end table
-
-@defun rt-liber-multi-set-status-open
-Set the status of all the marked tickets to ``open''.
-@end defun
-
-@defun rt-liber-multi-set-status-resolved
-Set the status of all the marked tickets to ``resolved.
-@end defun
-
-@defun rt-liber-multi-assign name
-Assign all of the marked tickets to NAME.
-@end defun
-
-@defun rt-liber-multi-flag-as-spam-and-delete
-Set the status of all the marked tickets to ``is-spam'' and delete.
-@end defun

-@node Local Storage
-@chapter Local Storage
-@cindex Local Storage
-
-@file{rt-liberation-storage.el} implements associating arbitrary
-ancillary data with tickets. The data is stored locally and is not
-sent to the RT server.
-
-To enable local storage first load @file{rt-liberation-storage.el}:
-
-@lisp
-(require 'rt-liberation-storage)
-@end lisp
-
-Then enable the display of ancillary data with:
-
-@lisp
-(setq rt-liber-anc-p t)
-@end lisp
-
-The associated data is edited and displayed in the ticket browser with
-the following command key:
-
-@table @kbd
-@item A
-@kindex A (ticket browser)
-@findex rt-liber-browser-ancillary-text
-Associate text with the ticket at point. You will be prompted to enter
-a string of text.
-@end table
-
-Once text is associated with a ticket it will be displayed alongside
-that ticket in the ticket browser. This particular feature lends
-itself to creating private annotations about tickets.
-
-The implementation distributed with rt-liberation allows associating
-text with tickets but is not limited to text. The same implementation
-can be extended to associate any arbitrary data with any ticket.
