Hi,

`bug-reference-push-button' hardcodes `browse-url' - I have to
redefine/override the complete function definition if I want to, say,
call `debbugs-gnu-bugs' instead of opening a browser when I click on the
bug button.  There is even only a url present in the button data, so I
have to parse out the button number from that url string.  Would be nice
if it would be easier to change the default behavior.

TIA, Michael.

There is the minor mode `debbugs-browse-mode'. Enable it, that's it.

See also (info "(debbugs-ug) Minor Mode")

Best regards, Michael.

Hmm, ok.  But it's only a minor mode, so instead of having a global
setting, I have to add that minor mode to any place where it's needed.

So, why this does what I want, it's a bit disappointing: bug-reference
hardcodes browse-url, and browse-url can't be changed to handle new
types of urls specially, so the only thing we can do is to hijack
browse-url-browser-function buffer-locally.  Can't this even have side
effects?  What if the Magit revision buffer includes real links?  Oh -
no, I see, that works because the minor mode uses an :before-until
advice.  But it will break if something else binds or sets
browse-url-browser-function, right?

Michael.

I have in my .emacs

(add-hook 'bug-reference-mode-hook 'debbugs-browse-mode)
(add-hook 'bug-reference-prog-mode-hook 'debbugs-browse-mode)

Perhaps. Do we have this request from somebody?

Best regards, Michael.

I believe we can close this request. There's nothing else to do.
