The most minimal configuration is what the code in t/lib/DebbugsTest.pm's create_debbugs_configuration does: https://salsa.debian.org/debbugs-team/debbugs/-/blob/master/t/lib/DebbugsTest.pm?ref_type=heads#L63 There's a good argument to abstract that out into a function in Debbugs::Config which can generate a configuration with enough special hooks for testing. That said, I think for right now if you want to punt and just fix the bug and then we can make the fix better later, I'm OK with that. -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com Once, our bodies were bells: Simply moving in the wind We tolled our names. -- Phillis Levin "Poetry in Motion" p55
