This script is used to import bugs from another installation of bugzilla.
It can be used in two ways.
First using the move function of bugzilla
on another system will send mail to an alias provided by
the administrator of the target installation (you). Set up an alias
similar to the one given below so this mail will be automatically
run by this script and imported into your database. Run 'newaliases'
after adding this alias to your aliases file. Make sure your sendmail
installation is configured to allow mail aliases to execute code.
bugzilla-import: "|/usr/bin/perl /opt/bugzilla/importxml.pl --mail"
Second it can be run from the command line with any xml file from
STDIN that conforms to the bugzilla DTD. In this case you can pass
an argument to set whether you want to send the
mail that will be sent to the exporter and maintainer normally.
