+These are just scratchpad notes from [[/MarkLinimon|MarkLinimon]].
-TBA
+==== Description ====
+There are several programmatic ways to interface with [[/Bugzilla]].  None is completely satisfactory.
+Currently [[https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/|our Bugzilla instance]] only supports the **XMLRPC** interface.  However, [[http://www.bugzilla.org|bugzilla.org]] has [[https://www.bugzilla.org/releases/5.0/release-notes.html#feat_webservices|deprecated XMLRPC]] in favor of the **REST** interface.  Contact [[/Bugmeister]] if you wish to help.
+==== devel/pybugz ====
+  * https://www.freshports.org/devel/pybugz/
+  * ''%%pkg install devel/pybugz%%''
+  * Simple to use
+  * Now maintained by bugmeister@
+  * Major disadvantage: only supports XMLPRC
+==== ports-mgmt/freebsd-bugzilla-cli ====
+  * https://www.freshports.org/ports-mgmt/freebsd-bugzilla-cli/
+  * ''%%pkg install freebsd-bugzilla-cli%%''
+  * Recommended by [[/RebeccaCran|RebeccaCran]]
+==== textproc/py-bugzillatools ====
+  * https://www.freshports.org/textproc/py-bugzillatools/
+  * Supported both XMLRPC and REST
+  * [[/MarkLinimon|MarkLinimon]] at one time had done extensive work with this, including local modifications.  TODO: dust it off and figure out the status
+  * Slight disadvantage: [[https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=b6cb2293104f806076d3ca69674fa9ba63b59211|it's dead]]. Or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZw35VUBdzo|status = sleeping]].
